[PATCH] IB/ehca: Serialize HCA-related hCalls on POWER5

[Joachim Fenkes <fenkes@de.ibm.com>]

All firmware versions on POWER5 systems have a locking issue in the
HCA-related hCalls that can cause loss of Infiniband connectivity if
allocate and free calls happen in parallel. This may for example be caused
if two processes are using OpenMPI in parallel.
Circumvent this by serializing all HCA-related hCalls on POWER5.

We tested this patch, especially the autodetection, and it works okay.
Please review and apply for 2.6.24-rc5 - thanks!
