SUNRPC: Separate buffer pointers for RPC Call and Reply messages
For xprtrdma, the RPC Call and Reply buffers are involved in real I/O operations. To start with, the DMA direction of the I/O for a Call is opposite that of a Reply. In the current arrangement, the Reply buffer address is on a four-byte alignment just past the call buffer. Would be friendlier on some platforms if that was at a DMA cache alignment instead. Because the current arrangement allocates a single memory region which contains both buffers, the RPC Reply buffer often contains a page boundary in it when the Call buffer is large enough (which is frequent). It would be a little nicer for setting up DMA operations (and possible registration of the Reply buffer) if the two buffers were separated, well-aligned, and contained as few page boundaries as possible. Now, I could just pad out the single memory region used for the pair of buffers. But frequently that would mean a lot of unused space to ensure the Reply buffer did not have a page boundary. Add a separate pointer to rpc_rqst that points right to the RPC Reply buffer. This makes no difference to xprtsock, but it will help xprtrdma in subsequent patches.
