Bernard Metzler 2c8ccb37b0 RDMA/siw: Change CQ flags from 64->32 bits
This patch changes the driver/user shared (mmapped) CQ notification
flags field from unsigned 64-bits size to unsigned 32-bits size. This
enables building siw on 32-bit architectures.

This patch changes the siw-abi, but as siw was only just merged in
this merge window cycle, there are no released kernels with the prior
abi.  We are making no attempt to be binary compatible with siw user
space libraries prior to the merge of siw into the upstream kernel,
only moving forward with upstream kernels and upstream rdma-core
provided siw libraries are we guaranteeing compatibility.

help
This driver implements the iWARP RDMA transport over
the Linux TCP/IP network stack. It enables a system with a
standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a iWARP
adapter or with another system running the SIW driver.
(See also RXE which is a similar software driver for RoCE.)
The driver interfaces with the Linux RDMA stack and
implements both a kernel and user space RDMA verbs API.
The user space verbs API requires a support
library named libsiw which is loaded by the generic user
space verbs API, libibverbs. To implement RDMA over
TCP/IP, the driver further interfaces with the Linux
in-kernel TCP socket layer.
