34816ad98e [IB] Fix MAD layer DMA mappings to avoid touching data buffer once mapped
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.

883a99c702 [IB] uverbs: Add a mask of device methods allowed for userspace
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.

63c47c286d [IB] uverbs: Close some exploitable races
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.

a4d61e8480 [PATCH] IB: move include files to include/rdma
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.
