The IB CM provides a message received acknowledged (MRA) message that
can be sent to indicate that a REQ or REP message has been received, but
will require more time to process than the timeout specified by those
messages. In many cases, the application may not know how long it will
take to respond to a CM message, but the majority of the time, it will
usually respond before a retry has been sent. Rather than sending an
MRA in response to all messages just to handle the case where a longer
timeout is needed, it is more efficient to queue the MRA for sending in
case a duplicate message is received.
This avoids sending an MRA when it is not needed, but limits the number
of times that a REQ or REP will be resent. It also provides for a
simpler implementation than generating the MRA based on a timer event.
(That is, trying to send the MRA after receiving the first REQ or REP if
a response has not been generated, so that it is received at the remote
side before a duplicate REQ or REP has been received)

The IB CM should include the HCA ACK delay when calculating the local
ACK timeout value to use for RC QPs. If the HCA ACK delay is large
enough relative to the packet life time, then if it is not taken into
account, the calculated timeout value ends up being too small, which
can result in "retry exceeded" errors.

The ib_cm_establish() function is replaced with a more generic
ib_cm_notify(). This routine is used to notify the CM that failover
has occurred, so that future CM messages (LAP, DREQ) reach the remote
CM. (Currently, we continue to use the original path) This bumps the
userspace CM ABI.
New alternate path information is captured when a LAP message is sent
or received. This allows QP attributes to be initialized for the user
when a new path is loaded after failover occurs.

The P_Key is provided into a SIDR REQ in two places, once as a
parameter, and again in the path record. Remove the P_Key as a
parameter and always use the one given in the path record.
This change has no practical effect on ABI functionality.

Extend matching connection requests to listens in the InfiniBand CM to
include private data checks.
This allows applications to listen on the same service identifier,
with private data directing the request to the appropriate application.

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.
