RDMA/core: add MR support for bvec-based RDMA operations

Browse source

The bvec-based RDMA API currently returns -EOPNOTSUPP when Memory
Region registration is required. This prevents iWARP devices from
using the bvec path, since iWARP requires MR registration for RDMA
READ operations. The force_mr debug parameter is also unusable with
bvec input.

Add rdma_rw_init_mr_wrs_bvec() to handle MR registration for bvec
arrays. The approach creates a synthetic scatterlist populated with
DMA addresses from the bvecs, then reuses the existing ib_map_mr_sg()
infrastructure. This avoids driver changes while keeping the
implementation small.

The synthetic scatterlist is stored in the rdma_rw_ctx for cleanup.
On destroy, the MRs are returned to the pool and the bvec DMA
mappings are released using the stored addresses.
