For development you can also tell rdma-core to refer to the kernel
source tree directly and it will immediately use those kernel
header for RDMA. No need to install things and wreck your distro.

#  -DKERNEL_DIR='.../linux' (default '')
#      If set use the kernel UAPI headers from this kernel source
#      tree.
