[PATCH 0/6] Remove driver dependencies on ib_uverbs.ko

[Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com>]

The original design was for user facing modules like ib_uverbs to be
independently loadable, if the user didn't want to have those char devs
then they could block the module.

This has slowly gotten degraded over time and right now every driver is
depending on ib_uverbs.ko. Fixup everything except
rdma_user_mmap_disassociate() in hns by moving coding around and adding a
new module ib_uverbs_support.ko to hold the dirver functions without any
of the uverbs cdev code.

After this series mlx5_ib and bnxt_re will use ib_uverbs_support.ko.

The first patch should go to rc

Jason Gunthorpe (6):
  RDMA/core: Move the _ib_copy_validate_udata* functions to
    ib_core_uverbs
  RDMA/core: Move many of the little EXPORTs from uverbs_ioctl into
    ib_core_uverbs
  RDMA/core: Remove uverbs_async_event_release()
  RDMA/core: Make a new module for the uverbs components needed by
    drivers
  RDMA/core: Move ucaps into ib_uverbs_support.ko
  RDMA/core: Move flow related functions to ib_uverbs_support.ko
