I squished the four drivers/infiniband patches together and added a
few more, see below. Applied to for-next

It would be fanatstic to follow this up with some analysis to find
cases where sizeof() is performed on a struct with a [] flex array -
these days people should be using struct_size() (interested DanC?)

Thanks,
Jason
