When searching the MR cache for suitable cache entries, don't use mkeys
larger than twice the size required for the MR.
This should ensure the usage of mkeys closer to the minimal required size
and reduce memory waste.
On driver init we create entries for mkeys with clear attributes and
powers of 2 sizes from 4 to the max supported size.
This solves the issue for anyone using mkeys that fit these
requirements.
In the use case where an MR is registered with different attributes,
like an access flag we can't UMR, we'll create a new cache entry to store
it upon dereg.
Without this fix, any later registration with same attributes and smaller
size will use the newly created cache entry and it's mkeys, disregarding
the memory waste of using mkeys larger than required.
For example, one worst-case scenario can be when registering and
deregistering a 1GB mkey with ATS enabled which will cause the creation of
a new cache entry to hold those type of mkeys. A user registering a 4k MR
with ATS will end up using the new cache entry and an mkey that can
support a 1GB MR, thus wasting x250k memory than actually needed in the HW.
Additionally, allow all small registration to use the smallest size
cache entry that is initialized on driver load even if size is larger
than twice the required size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
