Hi all,
I observe the following behavior on one of my machines configured for siw.

Issue:
SIW device gets wrong device ops (HW/real rdma driver device ops) instead of
siw device ops due to improper device matching.

Root-cause:
In libibverbs, during user cma initialisation, for each entry from the driver 
list, sysfs device is checked for matching name or device.
If the siw/rxe driver is at the head of the list, then sysfs device matches 
properly with the corresponding siw driver and gets the corresponding siw/rxe 
device ops. Now, If the siw/rxe driver is after the real HW driver cxgb4/mlx5 
respectively in the driver list, then siw sysfs device matches pci device and 
wrongly gets the device ops of HW driver (cxgb4/mlx5).

Below debug prints from verbs_register_driver() and driver_list entries, where 
siw is after cxgb4. I see verbs alloc context landing in cxgb4_alloc_context 
instead of siw_alloc_context, thus breaking user siw.

Proposed fix:
I have the below fix that works. It adds siw/rxe driver to the HEAD of the 
driver list and the rest to the tail. I am not sure if this fix is the ideal 
one, so I am attaching it to this mail.
