Jason Gunthorpe e0477b34d9 RDMA: Explicitly pass in the dma_device to ib_register_device
The code in setup_dma_device has become rather convoluted, move all of
this to the drivers. Drives now pass in a DMA capable struct device which
will be used to setup DMA, or drivers must fully configure the ibdev for
DMA and pass in NULL.

Other than setting the masks in rvt all drivers were doing this already
anyhow.

mthca, mlx4 and mlx5 were already setting up maximum DMA segment size for
DMA based on their hardweare limits in:
__mthca_init_one()
  dma_set_max_seg_size (1G)

__mlx4_init_one()
  dma_set_max_seg_size (1G)

mlx5_pci_init()
  set_dma_caps()
    dma_set_max_seg_size (2G)

Other non software drivers (except usnic) were extended to UINT_MAX [1, 2]
instead of 2G as was before.

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.
