While for in-kernel we already have LINUXKPI_INCLUDES in kern.pre.mk
for kmod builds we've not had a common define to use leading to various
spellings of include paths.
In order for the include list to be expanded more easily in the future,
e.g., adding the "dummy" includes (for all) and to harmonize code,
duplicate LINUXKPI_INCLUDES to kmod.mk and use it for all module Makefiles.

Overview:
This is the first stage of a RDMA stack upgrade introducing kernel
changes only based on Linux 5.7-rc1.
This patch is based on about four main areas of work:
- Update of the IB uobjects system:
- The memory holding so-called AH, CQ, PD, SRQ and UCONTEXT objects
is now managed by ibcore. This also require some changes in the
kernel verbs API. The updated verbs changes are typically about
initialize and deinitialize objects, and remove allocation and
free of memory.
- Update of the uverbs IOCTL framework:
- The parsing and handling of user-space commands has been
completely refactored to integrate with the updated IB uobjects
system.
- Various changes and updates to the generic uverbs interfaces in
device drivers including the new uAPI surface.
- The mlx5_ib_devx.c in mlx5ib and related mlx5 core changes.
Dependencies:
- The mlx4ib driver code has been updated with the minimum changes
needed.
- The mlx5ib driver code has been updated with the minimum changes
needed including DV support.
Compatibility:
- All user-space facing APIs are backwards compatible after this
change.
- All kernel-space facing RDMA APIs are backwards compatible after
this change, with exception of ib_create_ah() and ib_destroy_ah()
which takes a new flag.
- The "ib_device_ops" structure exist, but only contains the driver ID
and some structure sizes.
Differences from Linux:
- Infiniband drivers must use the INIT_IB_DEVICE_OPS() macro to set
the sizes needed for allocating various IB objects, when adding
IB device instances.
Security:
- PRIV_NET_RAW is needed to use raw ethernet transmit features.
- PRIV_DRIVER is needed to use other privileged operations.
Based on upstream Linux, Torvalds (5.7-rc1):

Centralize the list of generated files required by linuxkpi consumers,
into the common variable. This way, consumers that use the variable
are insulated from possible changes in the list.

The hardware rate limiting feature is enabled by the RATELIMIT kernel
option. Please refer to ifconfig(8) and the txrtlmt option and the
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE set socket option for more information. This
feature is compatible with hardware transmit send offload, TSO.
A set of sysctl(8) knobs under dev.mce.<N>.rate_limit are provided to
setup the ratelimit table and also to fine tune various rate limit
related parameters.

ECN configuration and statistics is available through a set of sysctl(8)
nodes under sys.class.infiniband.mlx5_X.cong . The ECN configuration
nodes can also be used as loader tunables.

Remote DMA over Converged Ethernet, RoCE, for the ConnectX-4 series of
PCI express network cards.
There is currently no user-space support and this driver only supports
kernel side non-routable RoCE V1. The krping kernel module can be used
to test this driver. Full user-space support including RoCE V2 will be
added as part of the ongoing upgrade to ibcore from Linux 4.9. Otherwise
this driver is feature equivalent to mlx4ib(4). The mlx5ib(4) kernel
module will only be built when WITH_OFED=YES is specified.
