Commit 400dbc9 added an infrastructure for extensible uverbs

According to the commit 400dbc9, the purpose of this infrastructure is
to support passing around provider (eg. hardware) specific buffers
when userspace issue commands to the kernel, so that it would be possible
to extend uverbs (eg. core) buffers independently from the provider buffers.
But the new kernel command function prototypes were not modified
to take advantage of this extension. This issue was exposed by
Roland Dreier in:

So the following patch is an attempt to a revised extensible command
infrastructure.
Yan, repeating my request, could you please remove all references to
email threads from the change-logs of your series and resend it.
FWIW you can leave them in the section below the --- line so git am will
not pick them.
Or.
