This patch introduce the Memory region as a shared object where users
should get a reference to it by calling the priv_mr_get() or
priv_mr_new() to create the memory region. This last one will
register the memory pool in the kernel driver and retrieve the
associated memory region.
This should help to reduce the memory consumption cause by registering
multiple times the same memory pool.

This removes the dependency on specific Mellanox OFED libraries by
using the upstream rdma-core and linux upstream community code.
Both rdma-core upstream and Mellanox OFED are Linux user-space packages:
1. Rdma-core is Linux upstream user-space package.(Generic)
2. Mellanox OFED is Mellanox's Linux user-space package.(Proprietary)
The difference between the two are the APIs towards the kernel.
Support for x86-32 is removed due to issues in rdma-core library.

descriptor can carry multiple packets either by including pointers of
packets or by inlining packets. Inlining packet data can be helpful to
better utilize PCIe bandwidth. In addition, Enhanced MPS supports hybrid

Retrieving link status information through the link update callback should
be quick and non-blocking.
Mellanox PMDs retrieve this information through ioctl() calls on the
related kernel netdevice. This appears to take a long time to
complete and may cause significant slowdowns in applications.
While these system calls cannot be accelerated, removing the lock on the
private structure allows applications to perform other control operations
from separate threads in the meantime. This function remains safe without
locking as it does not write the private structure, it is only used to
retrieve the name of the netdevice.

Mini (compressed) completion queue entries (CQEs) are returned by the
NIC when PCI back pressure is detected, in which case the first CQE64
contains common packet information followed by a number of CQE8
providing the rest, followed by a matching number of empty CQE64
entries to be used by software for decompression.
Before decompression:
0 1 2 6 7 8
+-------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 |
|-------| |---------| |-------| |-------| |-------| |-------|
| ..... | | cqe8[0] | | | . | | | | | ..... |
| ..... | | cqe8[1] | | | . | | | | | ..... |
| ..... | | ....... | | | . | | | | | ..... |
| ..... | | cqe8[7] | | | | | | | | ..... |
+-------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
After decompression:
0 1 ... 8
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 |
|-------| |-------| |-------|
| ..... | | ..... | . | ..... |
| ..... | | ..... | . | ..... |
| ..... | | ..... | . | ..... |
| ..... | | ..... | | ..... |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
This patch does not perform the entire decompression step as it would be
really expensive, instead the first CQE64 is consumed and an internal
context is maintained to interpret the following CQE8 entries directly.
Intermediate empty CQE64 entries are handed back to HW without further
processing.
