Hi Greg,

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't know that I can request for the
backport of selected patches in a patch series.
As I don't have much background & testing feasability of other patches,
I request you to backport only below two patches(same order as below):

commit#1:8ecfca68dc4cbee1272a0161e3f2fb9387dc6930
RDMA: Lift ibdev_to_node from rds to common code
author:	Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

commit#2:22dd4c707673129ed17e803b4bf68a567b2731db
nvme-rdma: Use ibdev_to_node instead of dereferencing ->dma_device
author:	Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

And I belive these two patches has no dependency with other patches in
the series. I've tested, it's working fine.

Thanks,
Krishnamraju.
