Previously, vlan id and source MAC were used from QP attributes. Since
the net device is now stored in the GID attributes, they could be used
instead of getting this information from the QP attributes.
IB_QP_SMAC, IB_QP_ALT_SMAC, IB_QP_VID and IB_QP_ALT_VID were removed
because there is no known libibverbs that uses them.
This commit also modifies the vendors (mlx4, ocrdma) drivers in order
to use the new approach.

Sometime consumers might want to search for a GID in a specific port.
For example, when a WC arrives and we want to search the GID
that matches that port - it's better to search only the relevant
port.
Exposing and renaming ib_cache_gid_find_by_port in order to match
the naming convention of the module.

RoCE GIDs are based on IP addresses configured on Ethernet net-devices
which relate to the RDMA (RoCE) device port.
Currently, each of the low-level drivers that support RoCE (ocrdma,
mlx4) manages its own RoCE port GID table. As there's nothing which is
essentially vendor specific, we generalize that, and enhance the RDMA
core GID cache to do this job.
In order to populate the GID table, we listen for events:
(a) netdev up/down/change_addr events - if a netdev is built onto
our RoCE device, we need to add/delete its IPs. This involves
adding all GIDs related to this ndev, add default GIDs, etc.
(b) inet events - add new GIDs (according to the IP addresses)
to the table.
For programming the port RoCE GID table, providers must implement
the add_gid and del_gid callbacks.
RoCE GID management requires us to state the associated net_device
alongside the GID. This information is necessary in order to manage
the GID table. For example, when a net_device is removed, its
associated GIDs need to be removed as well.
RoCE mandates generating a default GID for each port, based on the
related net-device's IPv6 link local. In contrast to the GID based on
the regular IPv6 link-local (as we generate GID per IP address),
the default GID is also available when the net device is down (in
order to support loopback).
Locking is done as follows:
The patch modify the GID table code both for new RoCE drivers
implementing the add_gid/del_gid callbacks and for current RoCE and
IB drivers that do not. The flows for updating the table are
different, so the locking requirements are too.
While updating RoCE GID table, protection against multiple writers is
achieved via mutex_lock(&table->lock). Since writing to a table
requires us to find an entry (possible a free entry) in the table and
then modify it, this mutex protects both the find_gid and write_gid
ensuring the atomicity of the action.
Each entry in the GID cache is protected by rwlock. In RoCE, writing
(usually results from netdev notifier) involves invoking the vendor's
add_gid and del_gid callbacks, which could sleep.
Therefore, an invalid flag is added for each entry. Updates for RoCE are
done via a workqueue, thus sleeping is permitted.
In IB, updates are done in write_lock_irq(&device->cache.lock), thus
write_gid isn't allowed to sleep and add_gid/del_gid are not called.
When passing net-device into/out-of the GID cache, the device
is always passed held (dev_hold).
The code uses a single work item for updating all RDMA devices,
following a netdev or inet notifier.
The patch moves the cache from being a client (which was incorrect,
as the cache is part of the IB infrastructure) to being explicitly
initialized/freed when a device is registered/removed.

This gets rid of the weird in-between state where struct ib_device
was allocated but the kobject didn't work.
Consequently ib_device_release is now guaranteed to be called in
all situations and we needn't duplicate its kfrees on error paths.

Existing user space applications provide only IBoE L3 address
attributes to the kernel when they issue a modify QP modify. To work
with them and let such apps (plus kernel consumers which don't use the
RDMA-CM) keep working transparently under the IBoE GID IP addressing
changes, add an Eth L2 address resolution helper.

Add a new parameter to ib_register_device() so that low-level device
drivers can pass in a pointer to a callback function that will be
called for each port that is registered in sysfs. This allows
low-level device drivers to create files in
/sys/class/infiniband/<hca>/ports/<N>/
without having to poke through the internals of the RDMA sysfs handling.
There is no need for an unregister function since the kobject
reference will go to zero when ib_unregister_device() is called.

Move the InfiniBand headers from drivers/infiniband/include to include/rdma.
This allows InfiniBand-using code to live elsewhere, and lets us remove the
ugly EXTRA_CFLAGS include path from the InfiniBand Makefiles.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
