[ofa-general] [PATCH 0/4] Adding new verbs: create_qp_flags

This series of patches will add a new user space verb:
ibv_create_qp_flags

This new verb works similarly like ibv_create_qp,
excpet for the additional parameter uint32_t create_flags
that it takes in order to create the QP with the specified
creation flags.

I've already sent a similar series of patches in July,
but it wasn't merged.

The older patches were based on Jack Morgensteins XRC patches.

These patches are not based on them.

The uverbs patch was written based on the for-next branch.

These patches don't break the ABI and are compatible with
older kernel/libibverbs versions.

The reason I added another verb in the kernel, is because
I don't think 8 bits (the reserved bits in struct ib_uverbs_create_qp)
will be enough in the future.
