IPoIB: Add send gather support

This patch acts as a preparation for using checksum offload for IB
devices capable of inserting/verifying checksum in IP packets.  The
patch does not actaully turn on NETIF_F_SG - we defer that to the
patches adding checksum offload capabilities.

We only add support for send gathers for datagram mode, since existing
HW does not support checksum offload on connected QPs.
