Hmmm...  It is not just the commit log, but also the Kconfig change.
I am not as worried as I might be about the few museum-piece DEC
Alpha systems suddenly sporting new RDMA PCI devices, but I am worried
about getting a more complex change right.

And if someone really does add a PCI RDMA device to their DEC Alpha,
and this patch causes them trouble, we can work out what to do about
it when and if that happens.

Indeed I did not, thank you for catching this!  Please see below for
updated ioat-free patch.

commit c389c98ec5f4a7aa4c36853e89801eb5ea81870e
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 27 09:04:22 2017 -0800

    drivers/infiniband: Remove now-redundant smp_read_barrier_depends()
    
    The smp_read_barrier_depends() does nothing at all except on DEC Alpha,
    and no current DEC Alpha systems use Infiniband:
    
    	lkml.kernel.org/r/20171023085921.jwbntptn6ictbnvj@...er
    
    This commit therefore makes Infiniband depend on !ALPHA and removes
    the now-ineffective invocations of smp_read_barrier_depends() from
    the InfiniBand driver.
    
    Please note that this patch should not be construed as my saying that
    InfiniBand's memory ordering is correct, but rather that this patch does
    not in any way affect InfiniBand's correctness.  In other words, the
    result of applying this patch is bug-for-bug compatible with the original.
