Looks good to me :-) Just a few comments below:

Attaching rather than inlining patches makes it harder to comment.

On 0001-Add-support-for-congestion-control-mads.patch, is ib_rpc_cc_t
really needed ? Couldn't mkey in existing rpc struct just be
reused/overloaded for this (and change comment to indicate mkey or
cckey) and then some code could be eliminated ?

On 0001-Support-ibccquery-congestion-control-query-tool.patch, I'm
worried about the following:
+               /* XXX: Q3/2010 errata lists first entry offset at 80, but we 
assume
+                * will be updated to 96 once CurrentTimeStamp field is word 
aligned.
+                * In addition, assume max 13 log events instead of 16.  Due to
+                * errata changes increasing size of CA log event, 16 log 
events is
+                * no longer possible to fit in max MAD size.
+                */

As far as the 13 v. 16 entries, this appears correct to me (MAD size)
but I'm concerned about changing the offset from 80 to 96 for better
alignment as this is putting the cart before the horse a little as
since these changes have not been finalized AFAIK at the IBTA.

Also, would you comment on what testing has been done with this ?
