Since rds goes upstream via netdev not linux-rdma, it's a little
tricky.. any core ib helpers we added would not be in net-next so rds
wouldn't build. :) Once net-next gets pushed to mainline and Roland
pulls from that, then we'll be in a good position to put these helpers
where they should go, and change other ULPs to use them.
