Since v6:
  * Thanks to Ira, Devesh for the review and testing :-)
  * Thanks for the comments from Sean, Tom, Jason, Doug, Devesh, Ira,
    Liran :-) Please remind me if anything missed :-P
  * Use query_protocol() and enum protocol type in 1#
  * Use rdma_protocol_XX() in 2#
  * Drop cma_set_legacy_transport()
  * Reserve rdma_ib_or_iboe() and rdma_node_get_transport()
  * Updated github repository to v7

There are plenty of lengthy code to check the transport type of IB device,
or the link layer type of it's port, but actually we are just speculating
whether a particular management/feature is supported by the device/port.

Thus instead of inferring, we should have our own mechanism for IB management
capability/protocol/feature checking, several proposals below.

This patch set will introduce query_protocol() to check management requirement
instead of inferring from transport and link layer respectively, along with
the new enum on protocol type.

Mapping List:
		node-type	link-layer	transport	protocol
nes		RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
amso1100	RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
cxgb3   	RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
cxgb4   	RNIC		ETH		IWARP		IWARP
usnic   	USNIC_UDP	ETH		USNIC_UDP	USNIC_UDP
ocrdma  	IB_CA		ETH		IB		IBOE
mlx4    	IB_CA		IB/ETH		IB		IB/IBOE
mlx5    	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
ehca    	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
ipath   	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
mthca   	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB
qib     	IB_CA		IB		IB		IB

For example:
	if (transport == IB) && (link-layer == ETH)
will now become:
	if (query_protocol() == IBOE)

Thus we will be able to get rid of the respective transport and link-layer
checking, and it will help us to add new protocol/Technology (like OPA) more
easier, also with the introduced management helpers, IB management logical
will be more clear and easier for extending.

Highlights:
    The 'mgmt-helpers' branch of 'git@github.com:ywang-pb/infiniband-wy.git'
    contain this series based on the latest 'infiniband/for-next'

    The patch set covered a wide range of IB stuff, thus for those who are
    familiar with the particular part, your suggestion would be invaluable ;-)

    Patch 1#~14# included all the logical reform, 15#~23# introduced the
    management helpers.

    we appreciate for those one who have the HW willing to provide Tested-by :-)

    Doug suggested the bitmask mechanism:
	https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org/msg23765.html
    which could be the plan for future reforming, we prefer that to be another
    series which focus on semantic and performance.

    This patch-set is somewhat 'bloated' now and it may be a good timing for
    staging, I'd like to suggest we focus on improving existed helpers and push
    all the further reforms into next series ;-)
