1d8206b97a svc: Add an svc transport class
The transport class (svc_xprt_class) represents a type of transport, e.g.
udp, tcp, rdma.  A transport class has a unique name and a set of transport
operations kept in the svc_xprt_ops structure.

A transport class can be dynamically registered and unregisterd. The
svc_xprt_class represents the module that implements the transport
type and keeps reference counts on the module to avoid unloading while
there are active users.

The endpoint (svc_xprt) is a generic, transport independent endpoint that can
be used to send and receive data for an RPC service. It inherits it's
operations from the transport class.

A transport driver module registers and unregisters itself with svc sunrpc
by calling svc_reg_xprt_class, and svc_unreg_xprt_class respectively.

f58851e6b0 RPCRDMA: rpc rdma transport switch
This implements the configuration and building of the core transport
switch implementation of the rpcrdma transport. Stubs are provided for
the rpcrdma protocol handling, and the infiniband/iwarp verbs interface.
These are provided in following patches.

a509050bd3 SUNRPC: introduce rpcbind: replacement for in-kernel portmapper
Introduce a replacement for the in-kernel portmapper client that supports
all 3 versions of the rpcbind protocol.  This code is not used yet.

Original code by Groupe Bull updated for the latest kernel, with multiple
bug fixes.

Note that rpcb_clnt.c does not yet support registering via versions 3 and
4 of the rpcbind protocol.  That is planned for a later patch.

a246b0105b [PATCH] RPC: introduce client-side transport switch
Move the bulk of client-side socket-specific code into a separate source
 file, net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c.

 Test-plan:
 Millions of fsx operations.  Performance characterization such as "sio" or
 "iozone".  Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily, server
 reboots).  Connectathon with v2, v3, and v4.

094bb20b9f [PATCH] RPC: extract socket logic common to both client and server
Clean-up: Move some code that is common to both RPC client- and server-side
 socket transports into its own source file, net/sunrpc/socklib.c.

 Test-plan:
 Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.  Millions of fsx operations over
 UDP, client and server.  Connectathon over UDP.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
