Hi Ram,

If you prepare a branch of rdma-core on github I can give it a quick
look over.

The technical steps are fairly simple, create a
provider/qedr directory, add your source code, copy the CMakeLists.txt
style from another provider, add a line to the sorted list in the top
level CMakeLists.txt, update README.md, COPYING.md and MAINTAINERS

You will want to look at the various patches I've prepared and ensure
you cover off the basic cleanups that have already been done, and that
your code compiles warning-free on FC24.

Once you feel everything is ready then post it to the mailing list and
send a pull request. For the mailing list you can just split the
patches by file..
