The following (lightly tested) RFC patch series implement QoS support
according to the proposed LWG2 QoS Annex. This is *not* intended for
upstream merge, but I do intent to put it in OFED as a technology preview.
Some notes:
- Module parameters (off by default) were added to control QoS support.
This is a safety measure, due to the fact QoS is not in spec yet.
These will have to go before upstream submission.
- Once enabled, all CMA based ULPs will get Service ID set in their
path query requests.
- To set priority, a new rdma_set_priority call was added.
It should be possible to implement it on top of iWarp as well
(IB QoS is explicitly defined to match DSCP semantics),
so I think this belongs in the common header.
For now this value is ignored on iWarp HCA.
