librdmacm has already the address change event being the next in the 
enum after the multicast error event, so merging this patch to the 
kernel before the address change one will make the rdma cm event enums 
different between user and kernel.

Roland, would it be possible to apply this patch on top of the address 
change one? I have checked and Linus has not merged yet the bonding 
patch that allows the rdmacm addr change patch to get compiled, so its 
going to take few more days, I guess.

Or.
