IB/mthca: Clear ICM pages before handing to FW
commit 87afd448b186c885d67a08b7417cd46253b6a9d6 upstream
Current memfree FW has a bug which in some cases, assumes that ICM
pages passed to it are cleared. This patch uses __GFP_ZERO to
allocate all ICM pages passed to the FW. Once firmware with a fix is
released, we can make the workaround conditional on firmware version.
This fixes the bug reported by Arthur Kepner <akepner@sgi.com> here:
http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2008-May/050026.html
[ Rewritten to be a one-liner using __GFP_ZERO instead of vmap()ing
ICM memory and memset()ing it to 0. - Roland ]
