mmc: block: Add CQE support
Add CQE support to the block driver, including: - optionally using DCMD for flush requests - "manually" issuing discard requests - issuing read / write requests to the CQE - supporting block-layer timeouts - handling recovery - supporting re-tuning CQE offers 25% - 50% better random multi-threaded I/O. There is a slight (e.g. 2%) drop in sequential read speed but no observable change to sequential write. CQE automatically sends the commands to complete requests. However it only supports reads / writes and so-called "direct commands" (DCMD). Furthermore DCMD is limited to one command at a time, but discards require 3 commands. That makes issuing discards through CQE very awkward, but some CQE's don't support DCMD anyway. So for discards, the existing non-CQE approach is taken, where the mmc core code issues the 3 commands one at a time i.e. mmc_erase(). Where DCMD is used, is for issuing flushes.
