You need to do a better job sending your patches, this is not
threaded, and not cc'd to linux-rdma, so it doesn't show in the
patchworks.

In general, do not send such large series for things that are not
connected. Send small cleanups like this properly and directly so they
can be applied.

I took care of it this time, so applied to the rdma tree as it is
obviously correct.

Thanks,
Jason
