LU-10526 build: Ubuntu Kernel 4.4.0 lacks symbols used by o2iblnd.c
Recently, a change has been merged to "lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd.c" which introduces the usage of IB_DEVICE_SG_GAPS_REG and IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS. Unfortunately, these symbols are not available in the 4.4.0 Kernels as used by Ubuntu 14/16. Additionally, there seems to be general warning against their use: - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9573483/ - https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/13/206 Also, there is a related performance issue as reported in LU-10394. The solution is to create a preprocessor guard around their use, so that Kernels lacking these symbols will not use them and revert to using the older IB_MR_TYPE_MEM_REG, instead.
