IB/core: Add cross-channel support
The cross-channel feature allows to execute WQEs that involve synchronization of I/O operations’ on different QPs. This capability enables to program complex flows with a single function call, hereby significantly reducing overhead associated with I/O processing. Cross-channel operations support is indicated by HCA capability information. The queue pairs can be configured to work as a “sync master queue” or “sync slave queues”. The added flags are: 1. Device capability flag IB_DEVICE_CROSS_CHANNEL for the devices that can perform cross-channel operations. 2. CQ property flag IB_CQ_FLAGS_IGNORE_OVERRUN to disable CQ overrun check. This check is useless in cross-channel scenario. 3. QP property flags to indicate if queues are slave or master: * IB_QP_CREATE_MANAGED_SEND indicates that posted send work requests will not be executed immediately and requires enabling. * IB_QP_CREATE_MANAGED_RECV indicates that posted receive work requests will not be executed immediately and requires enabling. * IB_QP_CREATE_CROSS_CHANNEL declares the QP to work in cross-channel mode. If IB_QP_CREATE_MANAGED_SEND and IB_QP_CREATE_MANAGED_RECV are not provided, this QP will be sync master queue, else it will be sync slave.
