Currently the rdma_rxe driver and its user space provider exchange
addressing information for UD sends by having the provider compute an
address vector (AV) and send it with each WQE. This is not the way
that the RDMA verbs API was intended to operate.

This series of patches modifies the way UD send WQEs work by exchanging
an index identifying the AH replacing the 88 byte AV by a 4 byte AH
index. In order to not break compatibility with the existing API the
rdma_rxe driver will recognise when an older version of the provider
is not sending an index (i.e. it is 0) and will use the AV instead.

v2:
  Rearranged AV in rxe_send_wqe to be in the ud struct but padded to the
  same offset as the original preserving ABI compatibility.
