IB/uverbs: Add support to advise_mr
Add new ioctl method for the MR object - ADVISE_MR.
This command can be used by users to give an advice or directions to the
kernel about an address range that belongs to memory regions.
A new ib_device callback, advise_mr(), is introduced here to suupport the
new command. This command takes the following arguments:
- pd: The protection domain to which all memory regions belong
- advice: The type of the advice
* IB_UVERBS_ADVISE_MR_ADVICE_PREFETCH - Pre-fetch a range of
an on-demand paging MR
* IB_UVERBS_ADVISE_MR_ADVICE_PREFETCH_WRITE - Pre-fetch a range
of an on-demand paging MR with write intention
- flags: The properties of the advice
* IB_UVERBS_ADVISE_MR_FLAG_FLUSH - Operation must end before
return to the caller
- sg_list: The list of memory ranges
- num_sge: The number of memory ranges in the list
- attrs: More attributes to be parsed by the provider
