This feature is intended for archs having cache line larger then 64B. Since our CQE/EQEs are generally 64B in those systems, HW will write twice to the same cache line consecutively, causing pipe locks due to he hazard prevention mechanism. For elements in a cyclic buffer, writes are consecutive, so entries smaller than a cache line should be avoided, especially if they are written at a high rate. Reduce consecutive writes to same cache line in CQs/EQs, by allowing the driver to increase the distance between entries so that each will reside in a different cache line. Until the introduction of this feature, there were two types of CQE/EQE: 1. 32B stride and context in the [0-31] segment 2. 64B stride and context in the [32-63] segment This feature introduces two additional types: 3. 128B stride and context in the [0-31] segment (128B cache line) 4. 256B stride and context in the [0-31] segment (256B cache line) Modify the mlx4_core driver to query the device for the CQE/EQE cache line stride capability and to enable that capability when the host cache line size is larger than 64 bytes (supported cache lines are 128B and 256B). The mlx4 IB driver and libmlx4 need not be aware of this change. The PF context behaviour is changed to require this change in VF drivers running on such archs.
