This adds the ability to use multiple DDP page sizes to the iSCSI
driver, among other improvements.

hardware send and receive PDU limits. Report these limits to ICL and
take them into account when setting the socket's send and receive buffer
sizes. The driver used a single hardcoded limit everywhere prior to
this change.

Decouple the send and receive limits on the amount of data in a single
iSCSI PDU. MaxRecvDataSegmentLength is declarative, not negotiated, and
is direction-specific so there is no reason for both ends to limit
themselves to the same min(initiator, target) value in both directions.
Allow iSCSI drivers to report their send, receive, first burst, and max
burst limits explicitly instead of using hardcoded values or trying to
derive all of them from the receive limit (which was the only limit
reported by the drivers prior to this change).
Display the send and receive limits separately in the userspace iSCSI
utilities.

related to "shared" CPLs.
a) Combine t4_set_tcb_field and t4_set_tcb_field_rpl into a single
function. Allow callers to direct the response to any iq. Tidy up
set_ulp_mode_iscsi while there to use names from t4_tcb.h instead of
magic constants.
b) Remove all CPL handler tables from struct adapter. This reduces its
size by around 2KB. All handlers are now registered at MOD_LOAD instead
of attach or some kind of initialization/activation. The registration
functions do not need an adapter parameter any more.
c) Add per-iq handlers to deal with CPLs whose destination cannot be
determined solely from the opcode. There are 2 such CPLs in use right
now: SET_TCB_RPL and L2T_WRITE_RPL. The base driver continues to send
filter and L2T_WRITEs over the mgmtq and solicits the reply on fwq.
t4_tom (including the DDP code) now uses the port's ctrlq to send
L2T_WRITEs and SET_TCB_FIELDs and solicits the reply on an ofld_rxq.
fwq and ofld_rxq have different handlers that know what kind of tid to
expect in the reply. Update t4_write_l2e and callers to to support any
wrq/iq combination.

by default. This is a workaround for a too simplistic ICL module
choosing mechanism. To use it, specify offload in ctl.conf
or iscsi.conf.
This fixes a problem where "kldload cxgbei" wedges the iSCSI stack,
if you don't have a Chelsio card installed, or the endpoints of the
iSCSI session are not reachable through addresses configured
on that interface.

cards supported by cxgbe(4).
On the host side this driver interfaces with the storage stack via the
ICL (iSCSI Common Layer) in the kernel. On the wire the traffic is
standard iSCSI (SCSI over TCP as per RFC 3720/7143 etc.) that
interoperates with all other standards compliant implementations. The
driver is layered on top of the TOE driver (t4_tom) and promotes
connections being handled by t4_tom to iSCSI ULP (Upper Layer Protocol)
mode. Hardware assistance in this mode includes:
- Full TCP processing.
- iSCSI PDU identification and recovery within the TCP stream.
- Header and/or data digest insertion (tx) and verification (rx).
- Zero copy (both tx and rx).
Man page will follow in a separate commit in a couple of weeks.
