Reserve bits 26-31 for internal use by low-level drivers. Two such
bits are used in the mlx4_b driver SR-IOV implementation.

These enum additions guarantee that the core layer will never use
these bits, so that low level drivers may safely make use of them.

<title>IB/core: Add raw packet QP type</title>

IB_QPT_RAW_PACKET allows applications to build a complete packet,
including L2 headers, when sending; on the receive side, the HW will
not strip any headers.

This QP type is designed for userspace direct access to Ethernet; for
example by applications that do TCP/IP themselves.  Only processes
with the NET_RAW capability are allowed to create raw packet QPs (the
name "raw packet QP" is supposed to suggest an analogy to AF_PACKET /
SOL_RAW sockets).

<content type='text'>
Just as we don't allow PDs, CQs, etc. to be destroyed if there are QPs
that are attached to them, don't let a QP be destroyed if there are
multicast group(s) attached to it.  Use the existing usecnt field of
struct ib_qp which was added by commit 0e0ec7e ("RDMA/core: Export
ib_open_qp() to share XRC TGT QPs") to track this.

<title>IB: Change CQE "csum_ok" field to a bit flag</title>

<id>d927d505c59a0c7353343174e6225c43c61fba6d</id>
<content type='text'>
Use a bit in wc_flags rather then a whole integer to hold the
"checksum OK" flag.  By itself, this change doesn't reduce the size of
struct ib_wc on 64bit machines -- it stays on 56 bytes because of
padding.  However, it will allow to add more fields in the future
without enlarging the struct.  Also, it will let us have a unified
approach with future libibverbs checksum offload reporting, because a
bit flag doesn't break the library ABI.

This patch was suggested during conversation with Liran Liss
&lt;liranl@mellanox.com&gt;.

<title>IB: Use central enum for speed instead of hard-coded values</title>

The kernel IB stack uses one enumeration for IB speed, which wasn't
explicitly specified in the verbs header file.  Add that enum, and use
it all over the code.

The IB speed/width notation is also used by iWARP and IBoE HW drivers,
which use the convention of rate = speed * width to advertise their
port link rate.

XRC TGT QPs are shared resources among multiple processes.  Since the
creating process may exit, allow other processes which share the same
XRC domain to open an existing QP.  This allows us to transfer
ownership of an XRC TGT QP to another process.

Allow user space to create XRC domains.  Because XRCDs are expected to
be shared among multiple processes, we use inodes to identify an XRCD.

<title>RDMA/verbs: Cleanup XRC TGT QPs when destroying XRCD</title>

XRC TGT QPs are intended to be shared among multiple users and
processes.  Allow the destruction of an XRC TGT QP to be done explicitly
through ib_destroy_qp() or when the XRCD is destroyed.

To support destroying an XRC TGT QP, we need to track TGT QPs with the
XRCD.  When the XRCD is destroyed, all tracked XRC TGT QPs are also
cleaned up.

To avoid stale reference issues, if a user is holding a reference on a
TGT QP, we increment a reference count on the QP.  The user releases the
reference by calling ib_release_qp.  This releases any access to the QP
from a user above verbs, but allows the QP to continue to exist until
destroyed by the XRCD.
