So why is IB_MR_TYPE_PI a separate function, but IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS
is not?

I think we either want one alloc/free helper per type, or we have
to extend ib_alloc_mr with an arguments structure or something similar.

my original commit modified the ib_alloc_mr to:

struct ib_mr *ib_alloc_mr(struct ib_pd *pd,
                          enum ib_mr_type mr_type,
-                         u32 max_num_sg)
+                         u32 max_num_sg, u32 max_num_meta_sg)


and I also prefer to have 1 allocation function but I guess we should use the style that the RDMA maintainers prefer and this is the review I got.

So Jason/Leon/Doug in case you prefer to extend ib_alloc_mr as I originally did, I can do it for V3.
