Subject: [PATCH v3 00/20] NFS/RDMA client for 3.20

The following series of patches for the Linux NFS client breaks up
the per-transport buffer pool data structures. The goal is to allow
transport operation to scale better as the size of SEND/RECV buffers
(the inline thresholds), the maximum NFS r/wsize, and the number of
RDMA credits (concurrent RPC requests) is increased.

The primary change is that the header send buffers have been split
from struct rpcrdma_req. Specific benefits are outlined in the patch
descriptions.

More pre-requisites are required. Changes to raise the maximum
r/wsize and other limits are left for a future merge window.

Anna, I think these are ready for you to merge.

Changes since v2:
- Rebased on v3.19-rc5
- Several patch descriptions clarified, based on review comments
- New size of client receive buffers was needlessly large

Changes since v1:
- Rebased on v3.19-rc4
- One short description fixed
- linux-rdma included this time (sorry for the noise)
