This series includes shared code updates for mlx5 core driver for both
 netdev and rdma subsystems.
 
 By Saeed,
 First six patches of the series are meant to address a performance issue
 and should provide a performance boost for multi core IRQ interrupt hungry
 workloads.  The issue is fixed in the first patch, all other patches are
 meant to refactor the code in light of this fix.
 
 The problem it comes to fix, is a shared spinlock accessed across all HCA
 IRQs which protects the CQ database.  To solve this we simply move the CQ
 database and its spinlock to be per EQ (IRQ), thus per core.
 
 By Yonatan,
 Fragmented completion queue (CQ) for RDMA,
 core driver implementation to create fragmented CQ buffers rather than
 one large contiguous memory buffer, the implementation scheme already
 exist and used by the netdev CQs, the patch shares that code with the
 rdma CQ creation flow and makes use of the new API in mlx5_ib driver.
 
 Thanks,
 Saeed.

Merged into rdma-next tree as well as net-next tree to prevent conflicts
in future patches between the two trees.
