Yishai Hadas 97c22fd510 vfio/mlx5: Align the page tracking max message size with the device capability
[ Upstream commit 9c7c5430bca36e9636eabbba0b3b53251479c7ab ]

Align the page tracking maximum message size with the device's
capability instead of relying on PAGE_SIZE.

This adjustment resolves a mismatch on systems where PAGE_SIZE is 64K,
but the firmware only supports a maximum message size of 4K.

Now that we rely on the device's capability for max_message_size, we
must account for potential future increases in its value.

Key considerations include:
- Supporting message sizes that exceed a single system page (e.g., an 8K
  message on a 4K system).
- Ensuring the RQ size is adjusted to accommodate at least 4
  WQEs/messages, in line with the device specification.

The above has been addressed as part of the patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
