mlx4_core: For 64-bit systems, vmap() kernel queue buffers

Since kernel virtual memory is not a problem on 64-bit systems, there
is no reason to use our own 2-layer page mapping scheme for large
kernel queue buffers on such systems.  Instead, map the page list to a
single virtually contiguous buffer with vmap(), so that can we access
buffer memory via direct indexing.
