Since v5:
  * Thanks to Ira, Devesh for the review and testing :-)
  * Thanks for the comments from Steve, Tom, Jason, Hal, Devesh, Ira,
    Liran, Jason, Dave :-) Please remind me if anything missed :-P
  * Trivial fix for 4#
  * Drop the reform on acquiring link-layer in 9#
  * Drop cap_ipoib()

There are plenty of lengthy code to check the transport type of IB device,
or the link layer type of it's port, but actually we are just speculating
whether a particular management/feature is supported by the device/port.

Thus instead of inferring, we should have our own mechanism for IB management
capability/protocol/feature checking, several proposals below.

This patch set will reform the method of getting transport type, we will
now using query_transport() instead of inferring from transport and link
layer respectively, also we defined the new transport type to make the
concept more reasonable.

Mapping List:
		node-type	link-layer	old-transport	new-transport
nes		RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
amso1100	RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
cxgb3   	RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
cxgb4   	RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
usnic   	USNIC_UDP	ETH		USNIC_UDP	USNIC_UDP
ocrdma  	IB_CA		ETH		IB		IBOE
mlx4    	IB_CA		IB/ETH		IB		IB/IBOE
mlx5    	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
ehca    	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
ipath   	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
mthca   	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
qib     	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB

For example:
	if (transport == IB) && (link-layer == ETH)
will now become:
	if (query_transport() == IBOE)

Thus we will be able to get rid of the respective transport and link-layer
checking, and it will help us to add new protocol/Technology (like OPA) more
easier, also with the introduced management helpers, IB management logical
will be more clear and easier for extending.

Highlights:
    The patch set covered a wide range of IB stuff, thus for those who are
    familiar with the particular part, your suggestion would be invaluable ;-)

    Patch 1#~15# included all the logical reform, 16#~25# introduced the
    management helpers, 26#~27# do clean up.

    we appreciate for those one who have the HW willing to provide Tested-by :-)

    Doug suggested the bitmask mechanism:
	https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org/msg23765.html
    which could be the plan for future reforming, we prefer that to be another
    series which focus on semantic and performance.

    This patch-set is somewhat 'bloated' now and it may be a good timing for
    staging, I'd like to suggest we focus on improving existed helpers and push
    all the further reforms into next series ;-)

    We now have a repository based on latest infiniband/for-next with this
    series applied:
        git-9UaJU3cA/F/QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org:ywang-pb/infiniband-wy.git
