  Resending to the proper ML (sorry).


  In mlx4_ib_reg_xrc_rcv_qp(), we need to take the xrc_reg_list_lock spinlock
when walking the xrc_reg_list.

  We've been hit by this on 2 customer sites.

  Also, I guess spin_lock_irqsave() could be replaced by spin_lock_irq() in
that function as we know for sure we're in process context.
