IB/iser: Support up to 8MB data transfer in a single command
iser support up to 512KB data transfer in a single scsi command. This means that larger IOs will split to different request. While iser can easily saturate FDR/EDR wires, some arrays are fine tuned for 1MB (or larger) IO sizes, hence add an option to support larger transfers (up to 8MB) if the device allows it. Given that a few target implementations don't support data transfers of more than 512KB by default and the fact that larger IO sizes require more resources, we introduce a module parameter to determine the maximum number of 512B sectors in a single scsi command. Users that are interested in larger transfers can change this value given that the target supports larger transfers. At the moment, iser works in 4K pages granularity, In a later stage we will get it to work with system page size instead. IO operations that consists of N pages will need a page vector of size N+1 in case the first SG element contains an offset. Given that some devices allocates memory regions in powers of 2, this means that allocating a region with N+1 pages, will result in region resources allocation of the next power of 2. Since we don't want that to happen, in case we are in the limit of IO size supported and the first SG element has an offset, we align the SG list using a bounce buffer (which is OK given that this is not likely to happen a lot).
