A user can provide a hint which will be attached to the packet and written
to the CQE on receive. This can be used as a way to offload operations
into the HW, for example parsing a packet which is a tunneled packet, and
if so, pass 0x1 as the hint. The software can use that hint to decapsulate
the packet and parse only the inner headers thus saving CPU cycles.

Currently a matcher can only be created and attached to a NIC RX flow
table. Extend it to allow it on NIC TX flow tables as well.
In order to achieve that, we:
1) Expose a new attribute: MLX5_IB_ATTR_FLOW_MATCHER_FLOW_FLAGS.
enum ib_flow_flags is used as valid flags. Only
IB_FLOW_ATTR_FLAGS_EGRESS is supported.
2) Remove the requirement to have a DEVX or QP destination when creating a
flow. A flow added to NIC TX flow table will forward the packet outside
of the vport (Wire or E-Switch in the SR-iOV case).

For now only NIC RX path is supported. This change requires to export

We expose new actions:
L2_TO_L2_TUNNEL - A generic encap from L2 to L2, the data passed should
be the encapsulating headers.
L3_TUNNEL_TO_L2 - Will do decap where the inner packet starts from L3,
the data should be mac or mac + vlan (14 or 18 bytes).
L2_TO_L3_TUNNEL - Will do encap where is L2 of the original packet will
not be included, the data should be the encapsulating
header.

For now, only add L2_TUNNEL_TO_L2 option. This will allow to perform
generic decap operation if the encapsulating protocol is L2 based, and the
inner packet is also L2 based. For example this can be used to decap VXLAN
packets.

Introduce driver create and destroy flow methods on the uverbs flow
object.
This allows the driver to get its specific device attributes to match the
underlay specification while still using the generic ib_flow object for
cleanup and code sharing.
The IB object's attributes are set via the ib_set_flow() helper function.
The specific implementation for the given specification is added in
downstream patches.

EQs are owned by the kernel and shared by all user processes.
Basically, a user CQ can point to any EQ.
The kernel doesn't enforce any such limitation today either.

Return a device UAR index for a given user index via the DEVX interface.
Security note:
The hardware protection mechanism works like this: Each device object that
is subject to UAR doorbells (QP/SQ/CQ) gets a UAR ID (called uar_page in
the device specification manual) upon its creation. Then upon doorbell,
hardware fetches the object context for which the doorbell was rang, and
validates that the UAR through which the DB was rang matches the UAR ID
of the object.
If no match the doorbell is silently ignored by the hardware. Of
course, the user cannot ring a doorbell on a UAR that was not mapped to
it.
Now in devx, as the devx kernel does not manipulate the QP/SQ/CQ command
mailboxes (except tagging them with UID), we expose to the user its UAR
ID, so it can embed it in these objects in the expected specification
format. So the only thing the user can do is hurt itself by creating a
QP/SQ/CQ with a UAR ID other than his, and then in this case other users
may ring a doorbell on its objects.
The consequence of that will be that another user can schedule a QP/SQ
of the buggy user for execution (just insert it to the hardware schedule
queue or arm its CQ for event generation), no further harm is expected.

This patch adds the mlx5_ib driver implementation for the device
memory allocation API.
It implements the ib_device callbacks for allocation and deallocation
operations as well as a new mmap command support which allows mapping
an allocated device memory to a VMA.
The change also adds reporting of device memory maximum size and
alignment parameters reported in device capabilities.
The allocation/deallocation operations are using new firmware
commands to allocate MEMIC memory on the device.
