[openib-general] [PATCH] mthca: speed up memory registration by filling MTTs directly

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Speed up memory registration by filling in MTTs directly.  This reduces the
number of FW commands needed to register an MR by at least a factor of 2.  This
applies to all memfree cards, and to tavor mode on 64 bit systems with the patch
I posted earlier.

This passed verbs testing here, please consider for 2.6.20.

Note that this *not* FMR - this is regular IB memory registration since
MPTs are still updated using FW command.
