mlx4: Add blue flame support for kernel consumers
Using blue flame can improve latency by allowing the HW to more efficiently
access the WQE. This patch presents two functions that are used to allocate or
release HW resources for using blue flame; the caller need to supply a struct
mlx4_bf object when allocating resources. Consumers that make use of this API
should post doorbells to the UAR object pointed by the initialized struct
mlx4_bf;
