Certainly umad is useful without uverbs. For example one can use
just umad to run OpenSM. In fact umad predates uverbs by quite a long
time. Thanks for pointing this out -- certainly we don't want to lump
umad and uverbs into the same config option.
ucm and uat probably aren't that useful without uverbs.
So I guess the final patch should have CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_MAD and
CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS as separate config options.
