The MAD layer was violating the DMA API by touching data buffers used
for sends after the DMA mapping was done. This causes problems on
non-cache-coherent architectures, because the device doing DMA won't
see updates to the payload buffers that exist only in the CPU cache.
Fix this by having all MAD consumers use ib_create_send_mad() to
allocate their send buffers, and moving the DMA mapping into the MAD
layer so it can be done just before calling send (and after any
modifications of the send buffer by the MAD layer).
Tested on a non-cache-coherent PowerPC 440SPe system.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Add structure definition for ClassPortInfo format. This is
needed for (at least) handling CM redirects.

Move the InfiniBand headers from drivers/infiniband/include to include/rdma.
This allows InfiniBand-using code to live elsewhere, and lets us remove the
ugly EXTRA_CFLAGS include path from the InfiniBand Makefiles.
