Subject: [PATCH v2 iproute2-next 2/3] rdma: Add an option to set privileged QKEY parameter

Enrich rdmatool with an option to enable or disable privileged QKEY.
When enabled, non-privileged users will be allowed to specify a
controlled QKEY.

By default this parameter is disabled in order to comply with IB spec.
According to the IB specification rel-1.6, section 3.5.3:
"QKEYs with the most significant bit set are considered controlled
QKEYs, and a HCA does not allow a consumer to arbitrarily specify a
controlled QKEY."

This allows old applications which existed before the kernel commit:
0cadb4db79e1 ("RDMA/uverbs: Restrict usage of privileged QKEYs")
they can use privileged QKEYs without being a privileged user to now
be able to work again without being privileged granted they turn on this
parameter.

rdma tool command examples and output.

$ rdma system show
netns shared privileged-qkey off copy-on-fork on

$ rdma system set privileged-qkey on

$ rdma system show
netns shared privileged-qkey on copy-on-fork on
