a394f83bdf IB/umad: Fix bit ordering and 32-on-64 problems on big endian systems
The declaration of struct ib_user_mad_reg_req.method_mask[] exported
to userspace was an array of __u32, but the kernel internally treated
it as a bitmap made up of longs.  This makes a difference for 64-bit
big-endian kernels, where numbering the bits in an array of__u32 gives:

    |31.....0|63....31|95....64|127...96|

while numbering the bits in an array of longs gives:

    |63..............0|127............64|

64-bit userspace can handle this by just treating method_mask[] as an
array of longs, but 32-bit userspace is really stuck: the meaning of
the bits in method_mask[] depends on whether the kernel is 32-bit or
64-bit, and there's no sane way for userspace to know that.

Fix this by updating <rdma/ib_user_mad.h> to make it clear that
method_mask[] is an array of longs, and using a compat_ioctl method to
convert to an array of 64-bit longs to handle the 32-on-64 problem.
This fixes the interface description to match existing behavior (so
working binaries continue to work) in almost all situations, and gives
consistent semantics in the case of 32-bit userspace that can run on
either a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel, so that the same binary can work for
both 32-on-32 and 32-on-64 systems.

2be8e3ee8e IB/umad: Add P_Key index support
Add support for setting the P_Key index of sent MADs and getting the
P_Key index of received MADs.  This requires a change to the layout of
the ABI structure struct ib_user_mad_hdr, so to avoid breaking
compatibility, we default to the old (unchanged) ABI and add a new
ioctl IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY that allows applications that are aware
of the new ABI to opt into using it.

We plan on switching to the new ABI by default in a year or so, and
this patch adds a warning that is printed when an application uses the
old ABI, to push people towards converting to the new ABI.

fa7252ed4d IB: Make sure struct ib_user_mad.data is aligned
Make the untyped data region in ib_user_mad have type u64 so that it
gets aligned properly.  This avoids alignment faults in ib_umad when
casting the data field to an rmpp_mad and accessing the 64-bit tid
field on architectures like ia64.

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.
