Zach Brown's "RDS/IB: print IB event strings as well as their number" - commit
1bde04a63d532c2540d6fdee0a661530a62b1686 in net-next-2.6 looks perfect to
reside as a helper function in the core IB stack which can be in use by other
rdma drivers (e.g ipoib, iser, srp, etc).

Yeah, if those other drivers were interested in the little helpers then it
would make sense to bring the functionality up into the core stack.

Note that there's another later commit in net-next that gives other event
strings the same treatment: 59f740a6aeb2cde2f79fe0df38262d4c1ef35cd8 .

Since rds goes upstream via netdev not linux-rdma, it's a little
tricky.. any core ib helpers we added would not be in net-next so rds
wouldn't build. :) Once net-next gets pushed to mainline and Roland
pulls from that, then we'll be in a good position to put these helpers
where they should go, and change other ULPs to use them.
