I knew some of the mlx5 changes relied on the RoCEv2 stuff (such as mlx5
RoCE support).  Others are larger in scope.  I tried to sort through the
singletons on patchworks today and saw at least one which I opted not to
take as it wasn't really a fix, it was a performance enhancement.  I'll
look over the ones you linked above to make sure I didn't miss them.

I'm getting ready to put out the initial 4.5 branch.  I was only waiting
on getting the last few 4.4-rc patches in so I can then merge that into
the 4.5 base and go from there.
