====================
Add TSO map-once DMA helpers and bnxt SW USO support

Greetings:

This series extends net/tso to add a data structure and some helpers allowing
drivers to DMA map headers and packet payloads a single time. The helpers can
then be used to reference slices of shared mapping for each segment. This
helps to avoid the cost of repeated DMA mappings, especially on systems which
use an IOMMU. N per-packet DMA maps are replaced with a single map for the
entire GSO skb. As of v3, the series uses the DMA IOVA API (as suggested by
Leon [1]) and provides a fallback path when an IOMMU is not in use. The DMA
IOVA API provides even better efficiency than the v2; see below.

The added helpers are then used in bnxt to add support for software UDP
Segmentation Offloading (SW USO) for older bnxt devices which do not have
support for USO in hardware. Since the helpers are generic, other drivers
can be extended similarly.

The v2 showed a ~4x reduction in DMA mapping calls at the same wire packet
rate on production traffic with a bnxt device. The v3, however, shows a larger
reduction of about ~6x at the same wire packet rate. This is thanks to Leon's
suggestion of using the DMA IOVA API [1].

Special care is taken to make bnxt ethtool operations work correctly: the ring
size cannot be reduced below a minimum threshold while USO is enabled and
growing the ring automatically re-enables USO if it was previously blocked.

This v10 contains some cosmetic changes (wrapping long lines), moves the test
to the correct directory, and attempts to fix the slot availability check
added in the v9.

I re-ran the python test and the test passed on my bnxt system. I also ran
this on a production system.
