First of a series of patches which add support for direct userspace access to
InfiniBand hardware -- so-called "userspace verbs." I believe these patches
are ready to merge, but a final review would be useful.
These patches should incorporate all of the feedback from the discussion when
I posted an earlier version back in April (see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/4/267 for the start of the thread). In
particular, memory pinned for use by userspace is accounted for in
current->mm->vm_locked and requests to pin memory are checked against
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK.
This patch:
Modify the ib_verbs.h header file with changes required for InfiniBand
userspace verbs support. We add a few structures to keep track of userspace
context, and extend the driver API so that low-level drivers know when they're
creating resources that will be used from userspace.

Make MTU field in SA PathRecord and MCMemberRecord a u8 rather than an enum
to avoid complications with endianness.

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!
