I previously sent an ABI-preserving version of this patch, but it was hated by 
Doug Ledford and (eventually) Jason Gunthorpe.  

After long discussion (see thread starting here: 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg15951.html), they decided that they 
wanted a clean break that forces both source code and ABI changes, which 
resulted in this patch.

I personally don't care which way this goes; I just want the ability to have 
non-enum MTU values.
