RDMA/mlx5: Allow larger pages in DevX umem
The umem DMA list calculation was locked at 4k pages due to confusion around how this API works and is used when larger pages are present. The conclusion is: - umem's cannot extend past what is mapped into the process, so creating a lage page size and referring to a sub-range is not allowed - umem's must always have a page offset of zero, except for sub PAGE_SIZE umems - The feature of umem_offset to create multiple objects inside a umem is buggy and isn't used anyplace. Thus we can assume all users of the current API have umem_offset == 0 as well Provide a new page size calculator that limits the DMA list to the VA range and enforces umem_offset == 0. Allow user space to specify the page sizes which it can accept, this bitmap must be derived from the intended use of the umem, based on per-usage HW limitations.
