Yes. The RDMA CM is somewhat easier, but I think the basic idea should
be that ucma internally detaches the userspace context from anything
that is holding a device reference, and marks the context as "dead"
(only valid operation is destroying it).
uverbs is trickier, because a userspace process will typically have some
hardware resources directly mmap'ed. We need a way to "revoke" that
mmap and have it point at a dummy page until userspace releases it --
and last I looked I wasn't sure how to do that.
