Now when ib_udata is passed to all the driver's object create/destroy APIs
the ib_udata will carry the ib_ucontext for every user command. There is
no need to also pass the ib_ucontext via the functions prototypes.
Make ib_udata the only argument psssed.

In rxe_queue_init, q and q->buf are allocated. In do_mmap_info, q->ip is
allocated. When error occurs, rxe_srq_from_init and the later error
handler do not free these allocated memories. This will make memory leak.

Open coding pointer math is not acceptable for describing the uABI in
RDMA. Provide structs for all the cases.
The udata is casted to the struct as close to the verbs entry point
as possible for maximum clarity. Function signatures and so forth
are revised to allow for this.

It makes me nervous when we cast pointer parameters. I would estimate
that around 50% of the time, it indicates a bug. Here the cast is not
needed becaue u32 and and unsigned int are the same thing. Removing the
cast makes the code more robust and future proof in case any of the
types change.

Soft RoCE (RXE) - The software RoCE driver
ib_rxe implements the RDMA transport and registers to the RDMA core
device as a kernel verbs provider. It also implements the packet IO
layer. On the other hand ib_rxe registers to the Linux netdev stack
as a udp encapsulating protocol, in that case RDMA, for sending and
receiving packets over any Ethernet device. This yields a RDMA
transport over the UDP/Ethernet network layer forming a RoCEv2
compatible device.
The configuration procedure of the Soft RoCE drivers requires
binding to any existing Ethernet network device. This is done with
/sys interface.
A userspace Soft RoCE library (librxe) provides user applications
the ability to run with Soft RoCE devices. The use of rxe verbs ins
user space requires the inclusion of librxe as a device specifics
plug-in to libibverbs. librxe is packaged separately.
