This patch is full of weird little mistakes like the above, wouldn't
compile and doesn't really seem capture the proposed API.

We are now asking for complete rdma-core patches before talking about
merging new kernel uapi features. Please retry this RFC with the new
requirement.

This means a patch similar to the above, except functional, and all
the man pages and documentation.

The text in the cover letter should go into either into a man page or
a Documentation/ file.

For very complex uapis like this, an simple example usage is also
going to help.
