Create operational request and reply queue pair. The MPI3 transport interface consists of an Administrative Request Queue, an Administrative Reply Queue, and Operational Messaging Queues. The Operational Messaging Queues are the primary communication mechanism between the host and the I/O Controller (IOC). Request messages, allocated in host memory, identify I/O operations to be performed by the IOC. These operations are queued on an Operational Request Queue by the host driver. Reply descriptors track I/O operations as they complete. The IOC queues these completions in an Operational Reply Queue. To fulfil large contiguous memory requirement, driver creates multiple segments and provide the list of segments. Each segment size should be 4K which is a hardware requirement. An element array is contiguous or segmented. A contiguous element array is located in contiguous physical memory. A contiguous element array must be aligned on an element size boundary. An element's physical address within the array may be directly calculated from the base address, the Producer/Consumer index, and the element size. Expected phased identifier bit is used to find out valid entry on reply queue. Driver sets <ephase> bit and IOC inverts the value of this bit on each pass.

README
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.
