The backing store to keep HW context data structures is allocated and initialized by L2 driver. For 57500 chip RoCE driver do not require to allocate and initialize additional memory. Changing to skip duplicate allocation and initialization for 57500 adapters. Driver continues as before for older chips. This patch also takes care of stats context memory alignment to 128 boundary, a requirement for 57500 series of chip. Older chips do not care of alignment, thus the change is unconditional.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
