We anyway convert the WR structs defined there to our own device-specific
format. Similarly, in the user-level library we would convert from the
user-space WR structure to a device-specific structure. The struct above
defines the device-specific format.
There might be some overlap in these structures with userspace and kernel,
since some of the same opcodes would be supported between the two.
As long as OFED hides those limitations shouldnt it be okay to have similar
structures between the two?
