    IB: Add CQ comp_vector support · f4fd0b22

    Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend
    ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels
    the userspace libibverbs API.  Update all hardware drivers to set
    num_comp_vectors to 1 and have all ULPs pass 0 for the comp_vector
    value.  Pass the value of num_comp_vectors to userspace rather than
    hard-coding a value of 1.
    
    We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for
    adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear
    how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues
    such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt
    affinity.  This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core
    changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple
    vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes
    anyway.
