Subject: [PATCH rdma-next 00/10] Relaxed ordering memory regions 

This series adds an ioctl command to allocate an async event file followed by a
new ioctl command to get a device context.

The get device context command enables reading some core generic capabilities
such as supporting an optional MR access flags by IB core and its related
drivers.

Once the above is enabled, a new optional MR access flag named
IB_UVERBS_ACCESS_RELAXED_ORDERING is added and is used by mlx5 driver.

This optional flag allows creation of relaxed ordering memory regions.  Access
through such MRs can improve performance by allowing the system to reorder
certain accesses.

As relaxed ordering is an optimization, drivers that do not support it can
simply ignore it.

Note: This series relies on the 'Refactoring FD usage' series [1] that was sent
to rdma-next.
