If the dependency common/mlx5 is explicitly disabled,

Meson will read the full recipe of net/mlx5
and will fail when accessing a variable from common/mlx5:
drivers/net/mlx5/meson.build:76:4: ERROR: Unknown variable "mlx5_config".
The solution is to stop parsing net/mlx5 if common/mlx5 is disabled.
The deps array must be defined before stopping, in order to automatically
disable the build of net/mlx5 and print the reason.
The same protection is applied to other mlx5 drivers,
so it will allow using the variable mlx5_config in future.

Inside the MR control structure there is a pointer to the common device.

The purpose of adding this pointer into the MR control structure was to
avoid its transfer as a parameter to all the functions of searching MR
in the caches.
However, adding it to this structure increased the Rx and Tx data-path

The rdma-core library can map doorbell register in two ways, depending
on the environment variable "MLX5_SHUT_UP_BF":
- as regular cached memory, the variable is either missing or set to
zero. This type of mapping may cause the significant doorbell
register writing latency and requires an explicit memory write
barrier to mitigate this issue and prevent write combining.
- as non-cached memory, the variable is present and set to not "0"
value. This type of mapping may cause performance impact under
heavy loading conditions but the explicit write memory barrier is
not required and it may improve core performance.
The UAR creation function maps a doorbell in one of the above ways
according to the system. In run time, it always adds an explicit memory
barrier after writing to.
In cases where the doorbell was mapped as non-cached memory, the
explicit memory barrier is unnecessary and may impair performance.
The commit [1] solved this problem for a Tx queue. In run time, it
checks the mapping type and provides the memory barrier after writing to
a Tx doorbell register if it is needed. The mapping type is extracted
directly from the uar_mmap_offset field in the queue properties.
This patch shares this code between the drivers and extends the above
solution for each of them.

In the multi-process mechanism, there are things that the secondary
process does not perform itself but asks the primary process to perform
for it.
There is a special API for communication between the processes that
receives parameters necessary for the specific action required as well
as a special structure called mp_id that contains the port number of the
processes through which the initial process finds the relevant ETH
device for the processes.
One of the operations performed through this mechanism is the creation
of a memory region, where the secondary process sends the virtual
address as a parameter and the mp_id structure with the port number
inside it.
However, once the memory area management is shared between the drivers
and either port number or ETH device is no longer relevant to them, it
seems unnecessary to continue communicating between the processes
through the mp_id variable.
In this patch we will remove the use of the above structure for all MR
management, and add to the specific parameter of operations a pointer to
the common device that contains everything needed to create/register MR.

the bigger the block, the faster the compression is.
The problem was that higher levels caused bigger blocks:

When the SW see address which is not mapped, it extends the address
range and creates a MR using a system call.
