Hi,

This is third version of series implementing the RDAMtool -  the tool
to configure RDMA devices. The initial proposal was sent as RFC [1] and
was based on sysfs entries as POC.

The current series was rewritten completely to work with RDMA netlinks as
a source of user<->kernel communications. In order to achieve that, the
RDMA netlinks were extensively refactored and modernized [2, 3, 4 and 5].

The following is an example of various runs on my machine with 5 devices
(4 in IB mode and one in Ethernet mode)

### Without parameters
$ rdma
Usage: rdma [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
where  OBJECT := { dev | link | help }
      OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -d[etails]}

What about json output? You will need it sooner than later. It will
prevent you from a lot of headaches if you implement it right away.
Lesson learned...

I'm planning to do it in the coming kernel cycle.

Thanks
