Dean Luick 528ee9fbf0 IB/hfi1: Add adaptive cacheless verbs copy
The kernel memcpy is faster than a cacheless copy.  However,
if too much of the L3 cache is overwritten by one-time copies
then overall bandwidth suffers.  Implement an adaptive scheme
where full page copies are tracked and if the number of unique
entries are larger than a threshold, verbs will use a cacheless
copy.  Tracked entries are gradually cleaned, allowing memcpy to
resume once the larger copies have stopped.
