[PATCH/RFC] IB/uverbs: Use anon_inodes instead of private infinibandeventfs

[PATCH/RFC] IB/uverbs: Use anon_inodes instead of private infinibandeventfs

[Roland Dreier]

The anon_inodes interface has been split to allow creating a bare
(non-installed) file pointer and also extended to allow specifying
O_RDONLY in the flags.  This makes it a suitable replacement for the
private "infinibandeventfs" pseudo-filesystem used by uverbs, and this
replacement saves a small chunk of boilerplate code.

I've had this kicking around for a few weeks, and it looks OK to me and
passes very light testing.  Anyone see any issues with merging this for
2.6.34?
