This patch adds support for CQ notifications through the standard verbs api. In order to achieve that, a new event queue (EQ) object is introduced, which is in charge of reporting completion events to the driver. On driver load, EQs are allocated and their affinity is set to a single cpu. When a user app creates a CQ with a completion channel, the completion vector number is converted to a EQ number, which is in charge of reporting the CQ events. In addition, the CQ creation admin command now returns an offset for the CQ doorbell, which is mapped to the userspace provider and is used to arm the CQ when requested by the user. The EQs use a single doorbell (located on the registers BAR), which encodes the EQ number and arm as part of the doorbell value. The EQs are polled by the driver on each new EQE, and arm it when the poll is completed.

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 Restructured Text 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.
