Great, I'm really excited to be getting another upstream driver. I would suggest that when the actual RoCE driver is posted, we merge these 2 prerequisite patches + the driver through my tree, to avoid the hassle of a dependency between my tree and Dave's net-next tree. (Assuming these patches are OK with Dave and everyone else... they look pretty reasonable to me after a quick read) When do you expect to post the actual RoCE driver? If that's going to be a while, another possibility is to just merge these patches through net-next for 3.4, although I'm not sure about how Dave feels about merging all this stuff without seeing what will actually use it.
