0cf89dcdbc IB/ehca: Tolerate dynamic memory operations before driver load
Implement toleration of dynamic memory operations and 16 GB gigantic
pages, where "toleration" means that the driver can cope with dynamic
memory operations that happen before the driver is loaded.  While the
ehca driver is loaded, dynamic memory operations are still prohibited
by returning NOTIFY_BAD from the memory notifier.

On module load the driver walks through available system memory,
checks for available memory ranges and then registers the kernel
internal memory region accordingly.  The translation of address ranges
is implemented via a 3-level busmap.

5bb7d9290c IB/ehca: Support large page MRs
Add support for MR pages larger than 4K on eHCA2. This reduces
firmware memory consumption.  If enabled via the mr_largepage module
parameter, the MR page size will be determined based on the MR length
and the hardware capabilities -- if the MR is >= 16M, 16M pages are
used, for example.

a1a6ff1100 IB/ehca: Use common error code mapping instead of specific ones
Instead of one error mapping function for each potential error source
in ehca_mrmw.c, use a centralized function that handles all cases,
saving a three-figure line count.
