[ewg] [PATCH v4] IB Core: RAW ETH support

[Alekseys Senin]

I tested it before on the Roland tree ( iboe branch ) and it fails,
because it writen in the way suitable for OFED. If adapt the patch to
the Roland tree, then appling Mellanox OFED patches will fail, because
it changes the same functions in the code.
Here is one example:
Look at __mlx4_ib_modify_qp at the Roland tree - there is no RAW_ETY
support. But in the OFED version of the same function this support is
present.
RAW_ETH patch modify this function and looking for RAW_ETY word and
without this RAW_ETH Mellanox patch will fail.

The similar thing happens with patch for the verbs. There is no iWARP
present in the Roland tree.
