mainlining shenanigans

Currently the cq counters are allocated in userspace memory, and mapped by the driver to the device address space. A new requirement that is part of new future API related to this one, requires that cq counters will be allocated in kernel memory. We leverage the existing cb_create API with KERNEL_MAPPED flag set to allocate this memory. That way we gain two things: 1. The memory cannot be freed while in use since it's protected by refcount in driver. 2. No need to wake up the user thread upon each interrupt from CQ, because the kernel has direct access to the counter. Therefore, it can make comparison with the target value in the interrupt handler and wake up the user thread only if the counter reaches the target value. This is instead of waking the thread up to copy counter value from user then go sleep again if target value wasn't reached.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
