IB/mlx4: Add a driver Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adapters
Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters. Because these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a device without stepping on each other. mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the InfiniBand midlayer.

+ ---help---
+ This driver provides low-level InfiniBand support for
+ Mellanox ConnectX PCI Express host channel adapters (HCAs).
+ This is required to use InfiniBand protocols such as
+ IP-over-IB or SRP with these devices.
