Add infrastructure to support extended uverbs capabilities in a
forward/backward manner. Uverbs command opcodes which are based on
the verbs extensions approach should be greater or equal to
IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD. They have new header format and
processed a bit differently.
Whenever a specific IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_XXX is extended, which practically means
it needs to have additional arguments, we will be able to add them without creating
a completely new IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_YYY command or bumping the uverbs ABI version.
This patch for itself doesn't provide the whole scheme which is also dependent
on adding a comp_mask field to each extended uverbs command struct.
The new header framework allows for future extension of the CMD arguments
(ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words, ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.out_words) for an existing
new command (that is a command that supports the new uverbs command header format
suggested in this patch) w/o bumping ABI version and with maintaining backward
and formward compatibility to new and old libibverbs versions.
In the uverbs command we are passing both uverbs arguments and the provider arguments.
We split the ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words to ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words which will now carry only
uverbs input argument struct size and ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.provider_in_words that will carry
the provider input argument size. Same goes for the response (the uverbs CMD output argument).
For example take the create_cq call and the mlx4_ib provider:
The uverbs layer gets libibverb's struct ibv_create_cq (named struct ib_uverbs_create_cq
in the kernel), mlx4_ib gets libmlx4's struct mlx4_create_cq (which includes struct
ibv_create_cq and is named struct mlx4_ib_create_cq in the kernel) and
in_words = sizeof(mlx4_create_cq)/4 .
Thus ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words carry both uverbs plus mlx4_ib input argument sizes,
where uverbs assumes it knows the size of its input argument - struct ibv_create_cq.
Now, if we wish to add a variable to struct ibv_create_cq, we can add a comp_mask field
to the struct which is basically bit field indicating which fields exists in the struct
(as done for the libibverbs API extension), but we need a way to tell what is the total
size of the struct and not assume the struct size is predefined (since we may get different
struct sizes from different user libibverbs versions). So we know at which point the
provider input argument (struct mlx4_create_cq) begins. Same goes for extending the
provider struct mlx4_create_cq. Thus we split the ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words to
ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words which will now carry only uverbs input argument struct size and
ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.provider_in_words that will carry the provider (mlx4_ib) input argument size.

Allow user space applications to join multicast groups using MGIDs
directly. MGIDs may be passed using AF_IB addresses. Since the
current multicast join command only supports addresses as large as
sockaddr_in6, define a new structure for joining addresses specified
using sockaddr_ib.
Since AF_IB allows the user to specify the qkey when resolving a
remote UD QP address, when joining the multicast group use the qkey
value, if one has been assigned.

Several commands into the RDMA CM from user space are restricted to
supporting addresses which fit into a sockaddr_in6 structure: bind
address, resolve address, and join multicast.
With the addition of AF_IB, we need to support addresses which are
larger than sockaddr_in6. This will be done by adding new commands
that exchange address information using sockaddr_storage. However, to
support existing applications, we maintain the current commands and
structures, but rename them to indicate that they only support IPv4
and v6 addresses.

Part of address resolution is mapping IP addresses to IB GIDs. With
the changes to support querying larger addresses and more path records,
also provide a way to query IB GIDs after resolution completes.

The current query_route call can return up to two path records. The
assumption being that one is the primary path, with optional support
for an alternate path. In both cases, the paths are assumed to be
reversible and are used to send CM MADs.
With the ability to manually set IB path data, the rdma cm can
eventually be capable of using up to 6 paths per connection:
forward primary, reverse primary,
forward alternate, reverse alternate,
reversible primary path for CM MADs
reversible alternate path for CM MADs.
(It is unclear at this time if IB routing will complicate this) In
order to handle more flexible routing topologies, add a new command to
report any number of paths.

The sockaddr structure for AF_IB is larger than sockaddr_in6. The
rdma cm user space ABI uses the latter to exchange address information
between user space and the kernel.
To support querying for larger addresses, define a new query command
that exchanges data using sockaddr_storage, rather than sockaddr_in6.
Unlike the existing query_route command, the new command only returns
address information. Route (i.e. path record) data is separated.
