Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.
This has a number of advantages:
- It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
the details of specific devices dictate.
- Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For
example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
- Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve
some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
- Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For
example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

The loop which initializes the user memory region from an array of
pages was using the wrong limit for the array. This worked OK when
dma_map_sg() returned the same number as the number of pages. This
patch fixes the problem.

This patch implements the interposing DMA mapping functions to allow
support for IOMMUs and remove the dependence on phys_to_virt() and
bus_to_virt().

A lot of ipath layer code was only called in one place. Now that the
ipath_core and ib_ipath drivers are merged, it's more sensible to simply
inline the simple stuff that the layer code was doing.
