Ajay, you're right. I didn't realize struct gdma_create_mr_params is not really
passed to the PF driver or the device. Please ignore my comments on
struct gdma_create_mr_params. Sorry for the confusion!

It's still recommended that we add the tag "/* HW DATA */ " to new definitions
that are passed to the PF driver or the device.

The issue with struct gdma_create_mr_request is valid, since it's
passed to the PF driver. We should explicitly define the hidden field.
