The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

ib_fmr_pool_map_phys gets the virtual address by pointer but never writes
there, and users (e.g. srp) seem to assume this and ignore the value
returned. This patch cleans up the API to get the VA by value, and updates
all users.

This patch allows the consumer to set the page size of "pages" mapped
by the pool FMRs, which is a feature already existing in the base
verbs API. On the cosmetic side it changes ib_fmr_attr.page_size field
to be named page_shift.

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.
