Update address vector handling to support mem-free mode. In mem-free
mode, the address vector (in hardware format) is copied by the driver
into each send work queue entry, so our address handle creation can
become pretty trivial: we just kmalloc() a buffer to hold the
formatted address vector.

Factor the allocation and freeing of completion queue buffers into
mthca_alloc_cq_buf() and mthca_free_cq_buf(). This makes the code
more readable and will eventually make handling userspace CQs simpler
(the kernel doesn't have to allocate a buffer at all).

Avoid taking the CQ table lock in the fast path path by using
synchronize_irq() after removing a CQ from the table to make sure that
no completion events are still in progress. This gets a nice speedup
(about 4%) in IP over IB on my hardware.

Locking during the poll cq operation can be reduced by locking the cq
while qp is being removed from the qp array. This also avoids an
extra atomic operation for reference counting.

This patch links all selected files under drivers/video/savagefb/ into
one module.
This required a renaming of savagefb.c to savagefb_driver.c .
As a side effect, the EXPORT_SYMBOL's in this directory are no longer
required.
