Christoph Hellwig 5a7a9e038b RDMA/core: remove use of dma_virt_ops
Use the ib_dma_* helpers to skip the DMA translation instead.  This
removes the last user if dma_virt_ops and keeps the weird layering
violation inside the RDMA core instead of burderning the DMA mapping
subsystems with it.  This also means the software RDMA drivers now don't
have to mess with DMA parameters that are not relevant to them at all, and
that in the future we can use PCI P2P transfers even for software RDMA, as
there is no first fake layer of DMA mapping that the P2P DMA support.

help
This driver implements the iWARP RDMA transport over
the Linux TCP/IP network stack. It enables a system with a
standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a iWARP
adapter or with another system running the SIW driver.
(See also RXE which is a similar software driver for RoCE.)
The driver interfaces with the Linux RDMA stack and
implements both a kernel and user space RDMA verbs API.
The user space verbs API requires a support
library named libsiw which is loaded by the generic user
space verbs API, libibverbs. To implement RDMA over
TCP/IP, the driver further interfaces with the Linux
in-kernel TCP socket layer.
