From: Amir Shehata <ashehata@whamcloud.com>

When allocating fastreg buffers allow the use of IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS
instead of IB_MR_TYPE_MEM_REG, since the fragments we provide
the fast registration API can have gaps. MEM_REG doesn't handle
that case.

There is a performance drop when using IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS and it
is recommended not to use it. To mitigate this, we added a module
parameter, use_fastreg_gaps, which defaults to 0. When allocating
the memory region if this parameter is set to 1 and the hw has
gaps support then use it and output a warning that performance
may drop. Otherwise always use IB_MR_TYPE_MEM_REG. We still want
to give user the choice to use this option.
