[PATCH for-next v9 0/7] fixed-buffer for uring-cmd/passthru

[Kanchan Joshi]

Hi

uring-cmd lacks the ability to leverage the pre-registered buffers.
This series adds that support in uring-cmd, and plumbs nvme passthrough
to work with it.

Patch 3 and 4 contains a bunch of general nvme cleanups, which got added
along the iterations.

Using registered-buffers showed 22-26% hike in peak IOPS (v8,in Jens setup).

Changes since v8:
- Split some patches further; now 7 patches rather than 5 (Christoph)
- Applied a bunch of other suggested cleanups (Christoph)

Changes since v7:
- Patch 3: added many cleanups/refactoring suggested by Christoph
- Patch 4: added copying-pages fallback for bounce-buffer/dma-alignment case
  (Christoph)

Changes since v6:
- Patch 1: fix warning for io_uring_cmd_import_fixed (robot)
-
Changes since v5:
- Patch 4: newly addd, to split a nvme function into two
- Patch 3: folded cleanups in bio_map_user_iov (Chaitanya, Pankaj)
- Rebase to latest for-next

Changes since v4:
- Patch 1, 2: folded all review comments of Jens

Changes since v3:
- uring_cmd_flags, change from u16 to u32 (Jens)
- patch 3, add another helper to reduce code-duplication (Jens)

Changes since v2:
- Kill the new opcode, add a flag instead (Pavel)
- Fix standalone build issue with patch 1 (Pavel)

Changes since v1:
- Fix a naming issue for an exported helper
