BTW if you post another patch set, two minor points:
- Use descriptive subject lines for the different parts. IIRC, the
first time around, all your emails were
[PATCH x/5] [RFC] Infiniband: connection abstraction
and that's not very friendly to reviewers
- Put the "re-export ip_dev_find()" change into a separate patch by
itself. That way no one can complain that they missed it hidden in
a big patch.

Also let's get the IB version merged before we work on iWARP. Even
the basic CMA API is required by iSER and NFS/RDMA, so it's worth
merging on its own.
