Patch 8 in this series (IB/cma: Add compare_data checks to the RDMA CM
module) basically does that (change rdma_cm so that it doesn't rely on
private_data checks in ib_cm). Indeed, it is positioned in the series
before adding the rdma_cm namespace support.
It remains to clean up ib_cm's ib_cm_listen interface now that
compare_data isn't used, but I'm not sure this belongs in this series.
