liquidio: improve soft command handling

1. Set LIO_SC_MAX_TMO_MS as the maximum timeout value for a soft command
(sc). All sc's use this value as a hard timeout value. Add expiry_time
in struct octeon_soft_command to keep the hard timeout value. The field
wait_time and timeout in struct octeon_soft_command will be obsoleted in
the last patch of this patch series.
2. Add processing a synchronous sc in sc response thread
lio_process_ordered_list. The memory allocated for a synchronous sc will
be freed by lio_process_ordered_list() to the sc pool.
3. Add two response lists for lio_process_ordered_list to process the
storage allocated for sc's:
OCTEON_DONE_SC_LIST response list keeps all sc's which will be freed to
the pool after their requestors have finished processing the responses.
OCTEON_ZOMBIE_SC_LIST response list keeps all sc's which have got
LIO_SC_MAX_TMO_MS timeout.
When an sc gets a hard timeout, lio_process_order_list() will recheck
its status 1 ms later. If the status has not updated by the firmware at
that time, the sc will be removed from OCTEON_DONE_SC_LIST response list
to OCTEON_ZOMBIE_SC_LIST response list. The sc's in the
OCTEON_ZOMBIE_SC_LIST response list will be freed when the driver is
unloaded.

liquidio: xmit_more support

Defer ringing the Tx doorbell if skb->xmit_more is set unless the Tx queue
is full or stopped. To keep latency low, use a deferral limit of 8
packets. We chose 8 because Octeon can fetch at most 8 packets in a single
PCI read, and our tests show that 8 results in low latency.

liquidio: replace info-pointer mode with buffer-pointer-only mode

Each Octeon output ring can DMA packets to host memory in two modes: info-
pointer mode and buffer-pointer-only mode. In info-pointer mode, Octeon
takes two buffer pointers for each packet and places the length of the
packet along with specified number of bytes from the beginning of the
packet into one buffer and the rest of the packet in a separate buffer. In
buffer-pointer-only mode, Octeon takes single buffer pointer and places the
length of the packet at the beginning of the buffer followed by the packet
data.

This patch switches all Octeon output rings from info-pointer mode to
buffer-pointer-only mode. This results in fewer DMA setups and cache line
snoops.

liquidio: improve UDP TX performance

Improve UDP TX performance by:
* reducing the ring size from 2K to 512
* replacing the numerous streaming DMA allocations for info buffers and
gather lists with one large consistent DMA allocation per ring

BQL is not effective here. We reduced the ring size because there is heavy
overhead with dma_map_single every so often. With iommu=on, dma_map_single
in PF Tx data path was taking longer time (~700usec) for every ~250
packets. Debugged intel_iommu code, and found that PF driver is utilizing
too many static IO virtual address mapping entries (for gather list entries
and info buffers): about 100K entries for two PF's each using 8 rings.
Also, finding an empty entry (in rbtree of device domain's iova mapping in
kernel) during Tx path becomes a bottleneck every so often; the loop to
find the empty entry goes through over 40K iterations; this is too costly
and was the major overhead. Overhead is low when this loop quits quickly.

liquidio: optimize reads from Octeon PCI console

Reads from Octeon PCI console are inefficient because before each read
operation, a dynamic mapping to Octeon DRAM is set up. This patch replaces
the repeated setup of a dynamic mapping with a one-time setup of a static
mapping.
