GenWQE: Fix multithreading problems
When being used in a multithreaded application there were problems with memory pages/cachelines accessed by multiple threads/cpus at the same time, while doing DMA transfers to/from those. To avoid such situations this fix is creating a copy of the first and the last page if it is not fully used. The data is copied from user-space into those pages and results are copied back when the DDCB-request is successfully finished.
