Firmware commands are sent to the HCA by writing multiple words to a
command register block. Access to this block of registers is
serialized with a mutex. However, on large SGI systems writes to the
register block may be reordered within the system interconnect and
reach the HCA in a different order than they were issued (even with
the mutex). Fix this by adding an mmiowb() before dropping the mutex.
This bug was observed with real workloads with the similar FW command
code in the mthca driver, and adding the mmiowb() as in commit
66547550 ("IB/mthca: Use mmiowb() to avoid firmware commands getting
jumbled up") was confirmed to fix the problems, so we should add the
same fix to mlx4.

Rename GO_BIT_TIMEOUT to GO_BIT_TIMEOUT_MSECS for clarity, and
actually use it as the go bit timeout (instead of having the define
but then ignoring it and using a hard-coded 10 * HZ for the actual
timeout).

The FW command token is currently only updated on a command completion
event. This means that on command timeout, the same token will be
reused for new command, which results in a mess if the timed out
command *does* eventually complete.
This is the same change as the patch for mthca from Michael
S. Tsirkin <mst@dev.mellanox.co.il> that was just merged. It seems
sensible to avoid gratuitous differences in FW command processing
between mthca and mlx4.

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.
