Back in prehistoric (pre-git!) days, the kernel's MSI-X support did
request_mem_region() on a device's MSI-X tables, which meant that a
driver that enabled MSI-X couldn't use pci_request_regions() (since
that would clash with the PCI layer's MSI-X request).
However, that was removed (by me!) years ago, so mthca can just use
pci_request_regions() and pci_release_regions() instead of its own
much more complicated code that avoids requesting the MSI-X tables.

Exactly when the catastrophic error polling timer function runs is not
important, so use round_jiffies() to save unnecessary wakeups.

Since we use del_timer_sync() anyway, there's no need for an
additional flag to tell the timer not to rearm.

Trigger device remove and then add when a catastrophic error is
detected in hardware. This, in turn, will cause a device reset, which
we hope will recover from the catastrophic condition.
Since this might interefere with debugging the root cause, add a
module option to suppress this behaviour.

Fix a typo in the rearming of the catastrophic error polling timer: we
should rearm the timer as long as the stop flag is _not_ set.

Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous
fix-missing-includes.patch. This should now allow not to include sched.h
from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

Add some initial support for detecting and reporting catastrophic
errors reported by Mellanox HCAs. We start a periodic timer which
polls the catastrophic error reporting buffer in device memory. If an
error is detected, we dump the contents of the buffer for port-mortem
debugging, and report a fatal asynchronous error to higher levels.
In the future we can try to recover from these errors by resetting the
device, but this will require some work in higher-level code as well.
Let's get this in now, so that we at least get catastrophic errors
reported in logs.
