When scatter to CQE is enabled on a DCT QP it corrupts the mailbox command
since it tried to treat it as as QP create mailbox command instead of a
DCT create command.
The corrupted mailbox command causes userspace to malfunction as the
device doesn't create the QP as expected.
A new mlx5 capability is exposed to user-space which ensures that it will
not enable the feature on DCT without this fix in the kernel.

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.
