from the commit message:

"

This cleanly splits out the uverbs flags from the kernel flags to avoid
confusion in the flags bitmap.

"

so it was not clear, at least to me, that some user flags are part of 
both the uapi and the kapi.

maybe worth mentioning that or split the uapi and kapi altogether.

Anyway looks good for iser/srp/nvmf,
