This change allows the RDMA stack to use physical resource numbers if they are passed up from the device. This is accomplished by separating the concept of the QP number from the QP handle. Previously, the two were the same, as the QP number was exposed to the guest and also used to reference a virtual QP in the device backend. With physical resource numbers exposed, the QP number given to the guest is the number assigned from the physical HCA's QP, while the QP handle is still the internal handle used to reference a virtual QP. Regardless of whether the device is exposing physical ids, the driver will still try to pick up the QP handle from the backend if possible. The MR keys exposed to the guest will also be the MR keys created by the physical HCA, instead of virtual MR keys. The distinction between handle and keys is already present for MRs so there is no need to do anything special here. A new version of the create QP response has been added to the device API to pass up the QP number and handle. The driver will also report these to userspace in the udata response if userspace supports it or not create the queuepair if not. I also had to do a refactor of the destroy qp code to reuse it if we fail to copy to userspace.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
