SMC supports two variants: SMC-R and SMC-D. For data transport, SMC-R
uses RDMA devices, SMC-D uses so-called Internal Shared Memory (ISM)
devices. An ISM device only allows shared memory communication between
SMC instances on the same machine. For example, this allows virtual
machines on the same host to communicate via SMC without RDMA devices.
This patch adds the base infrastructure for SMC-D and ISM devices to
the existing SMC code. It contains the following:
* ISM driver interface:
This interface allows an ISM driver to register ISM devices in SMC. In
the process, the driver provides a set of device ops for each device.
SMC uses these ops to execute SMC specific operations on or transfer
data over the device.
* Core SMC-D link group, connection, and buffer support:
Link groups, SMC connections and SMC buffers (in smc_core) are
extended to support SMC-D.
* SMC type checks:
Some type checks are added to prevent using SMC-R specific code for
SMC-D and vice versa.
To actually use SMC-D, additional changes to pnetid, CLC, CDC, etc. are
required. These are added in follow-up patches.

The base containers for RDMA transport are work requests and completion
queue entries processed through Infiniband verbs:
* allocate and initialize these areas
* map these areas to DMA
* implement the basic communication consisting of work request posting
and receival of completion queue events

Connection creation with SMC-R starts through an internal
TCP-connection. The Ethernet interface for this TCP-connection is not
restricted to the Ethernet interface of a RoCE device. Any existing
Ethernet interface belonging to the same physical net can be used, as
long as there is a defined relation between the Ethernet interface and
some RoCE devices. This relation is defined with the help of an
identification string called "Physical Net ID" or short "pnet ID".
Information about defined pnet IDs and their related Ethernet
interfaces and RoCE devices is stored in the SMC-R pnet table.
A pnet table entry consists of the identifying pnet ID and the
associated network and IB device.
This patch adds pnet table configuration support using the
generic netlink message interface referring to network and IB device
by their names. Commands exist to add, delete, and display pnet table
entries, and to flush or display the entire pnet table.
There are cross-checks to verify whether the ethernet interfaces
or infiniband devices really exist in the system. If either device
is not available, the pnet ID entry is not created.
Loss of network devices and IB devices is also monitored;
a pnet ID entry is removed when an associated network or
IB device is removed.

* enable smc module loading and unloading
* register new socket family
* basic smc socket creation and deletion
* use backing TCP socket to run CLC (Connection Layer Control)
handshake of SMC protocol
* Setup for infiniband traffic is implemented in follow-on patches.
For now fallback to TCP socket is always used.
