This patch makes the void pointer handle for lowcomms functionality per message and not per page allocation entry. A refcount handling for the handle was added to keep the message alive until the user doesn't need it anymore. There exists now a per message callback which will be called when allocating a new buffer. This callback will be guaranteed to be called according the order of the sending buffer, which can be used that the caller increments a sequence number for the dlm message handle. For transition process we cast the dlm_mhandle to dlm_msg and vice versa until the midcomms layer will implement a specific dlm_mhandle structure.

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.
