Hi Knut,

This patch set contains the changes and bug fixes necessary
to support Oracle's new Infiniband HCA (SIF) from the kernel side.

The exception is patch 3 which is a useful consolidation and simplification
made possible by patch 2 and the replacement of the dma_attr type with
a plain bitmask.

The changes to other rdma drivers are just trivial consequences of
the extended umem_get and create_ah calls and should hopefully be
uncontroversial.

Patches 4-7 are related to corresponding libibverbs patches.
These make minor changes (fixing end alignment) to some uverbs
data structures, but these are carefully made to be backward
binary compatible between user and kernel for existing provider
libraries.

You have missed SOBs on few patches accidentally. You might want to
fix that for next post :-)

regards,
Santosh
