I am open for suggestions.

Let's leave patch #3 out for now.

It's safe to apply #1 (and #2) alone.

Patches #4 and #5 only have value once patch #1 is accepted,
and I included them in the set for documentation purposes.

They don't break anything by getting into the RDMA or RDS subsystem 
without patch #1, alternatively they can go together with the set of cleanup patches I
have prepared for each of RDMA and RDS after #1 is in.

Thanks,
Knut
