Expose a writable "node_desc" sysfs attribute for InfiniBand devices.
This allows userspace to update the node description with information
such as the node's hostname, so that IB network management software
can tie its view to the real world.

Add support to uverbs to handle resizing userspace CQs (completion
queues), including adding an ABI for marshalling requests and
responses. The kernel midlayer already has ib_resize_cq().

Add a node_guid field to struct ib_device. It is the responsibility
of the low-level driver to initialize this field before registering a
device with the midlayer. Convert everyone to looking at this field
instead of calling ib_query_device() when all they want is the node
GUID, and remove the node_guid field from struct ib_device_attr.

Change the struct ib_device.resize_cq() method to take a plain integer
that holds the new CQ size, rather than a pointer to an integer that
it uses to return the new size. This makes the interface match the
exported ib_resize_cq() signature, and allows the low-level driver to
update the CQ size with proper locking if necessary.
No in-tree drivers are exporting this method yet.

The MAD layer was violating the DMA API by touching data buffers used
for sends after the DMA mapping was done. This causes problems on
non-cache-coherent architectures, because the device doing DMA won't
see updates to the payload buffers that exist only in the CPU cache.
Fix this by having all MAD consumers use ib_create_send_mad() to
allocate their send buffers, and moving the DMA mapping into the MAD
layer so it can be done just before calling send (and after any
modifications of the send buffer by the MAD layer).
Tested on a non-cache-coherent PowerPC 440SPe system.

Give each device a uverbs_cmd_mask, so that a low-level driver can
control which methods may be called on behalf of userspace.

Add abi_version attribute to uverbs class devices to allow for
ABI versioning of device-specific interfaces.

Al Viro pointed out that the current IB userspace verbs interface
allows userspace to cause mischief by closing file descriptors before
we're ready, or issuing the same command twice at the same time. This
patch closes those races, and fixes other obvious problems such as a
module reference leak.
Some other interface bogosities will require an ABI change to fix
properly, so I'm deferring those fixes until 2.6.15.

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.
