RDMA/efa: User/kernel compatibility handshake mechanism
Introduce a mechanism that performs an handshake between the userspace provider and kernel driver which verifies that the user supports all required features in order to operate correctly. The handshake verifies the needed functionality by comparing the reported device caps and the provider caps. If the device reports a non-zero capability the appropriate comp mask is required from the userspace provider in order to allocate the context.
