0c43ab371b RDMA/rxe: Use structs to describe the uABI instead of opencoding
Open coding pointer math is not acceptable for describing the uABI in
RDMA. Provide structs for all the cases.

The udata is casted to the struct as close to the verbs entry point
as possible for maximum clarity. Function signatures and so forth
are revised to allow for this.

aa75b07b47 IB/rxe: Clear queue buffer when modifying QP to reset
RXE resets the send-q only once in rxe_qp_init_req() when
QP is created, but when the QP is reused after QP reset, the send-q
holds previous garbage data.

This garbage data wrongly fails CQEs that otherwise
should have completed successfully.

8700e3e7c4 Soft RoCE driver
Soft RoCE (RXE) - The software RoCE driver

ib_rxe implements the RDMA transport and registers to the RDMA core
device as a kernel verbs provider. It also implements the packet IO
layer. On the other hand ib_rxe registers to the Linux netdev stack
as a udp encapsulating protocol, in that case RDMA, for sending and
receiving packets over any Ethernet device.  This yields a RDMA
transport over the UDP/Ethernet network layer forming a RoCEv2
compatible device.

The configuration procedure of the Soft RoCE drivers requires
binding to any existing Ethernet network device. This is done with
/sys interface.

A userspace Soft RoCE library (librxe) provides user applications
the ability to run with Soft RoCE devices.  The use of rxe verbs ins
user space requires the inclusion of librxe as a device specifics
plug-in to libibverbs. librxe is packaged separately.
