<title>rds_rdma: don't assume infiniband device is PCI</title>

RDS code assumes that the struct ib_device dma_device member, which is a
pointer, points to a struct device embedded in a struct pci_dev.

This is not the case for ehca, for example, which is a OF driver, and
makes dma_device point to a struct device embedded in a struct
platform_device.

This will make the system crash when rds_rdma is loaded in a system
with ehca, since it will try to access the bus member of a non-existent
struct pci_dev.

The only reason rds_rdma uses the struct pci_dev is to get the NUMA node
the device is attached to. Using dev_to_node for that is much better,
since it won't assume which bus the infiniband is attached to.

With cmwq, there's no reason to use dedicated rds_ib_fmr_wq - it's not
in the memory reclaim path and the maximum number of concurrent work
items is bound by the number of devices.  Drop it and use system_wq
instead.  This rds_ib_fmr_init/exit() noops.  Both removed.

removed since it defined but never used.

This prints the constant identifier for work completion status and rdma
cm event types, like we already do for IB event types.

A core string array helper is added that each string type uses.

The RDS IB device list wasn't protected by any locking.  Traversal in
both the get_mr and FMR flushing paths could race with additon and
removal.

List manipulation is done with RCU primatives and is protected by the
write side of a rwsem.  The list traversal in the get_mr fast path is
protected by a rcu read critical section.  The FMR list traversal is
more problematic because it can block while traversing the list.  We
protect this with the read side of the rwsem.

We're seeing bugs today where IB connection shutdown clears the send
ring while the tasklet is processing completed sends.  Implementation
details cause this to dereference a null pointer.  Shutdown needs to
wait for send completion to stop before tearing down the connection.  We
can't simply wait for the ring to empty because it may contain
unsignaled sends that will never be processed.

This patch tracks the number of signaled sends that we've posted and
waits for them to complete.  It also makes sure that the tasklet has
finished executing.
