IB/mthca: Write FW commands through doorbell page
This patch is checks whether the HCA supports posting FW commands
through a doorbell page (user access region 0, or "UAR0"). If this is
supported, the driver maps UAR0 and uses it for FW commands. This can
be controlled by the value of a writable module parameter
fw_cmd_doorbell. When the parameter is 0, the commands are posted
through HCR using the old method; otherwise if HCA is capable commands
go through UAR0.
This use of UAR0 to post commands eliminates the need for polling the
"go" bit prior to posting a new command. Since reading from a PCI
device is much more expensive then issuing a posted write, it is
expected that issuing FW commands this way will provide better CPU
utilization.
