Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma
Pull hdi1 rdma driver updates from Doug Ledford:
"This is the first pull request of the 4.9 merge window for the RDMA
subsystem. It is only the hfi1 driver. It had dependencies on code
that only landed late in the 4.7-rc cycle (around 4.7-rc7), so putting
this with my other for-next code would have create an ugly merge of
lot of 4.7-rc stuff. For that reason, it's being submitted
individually. It's been through 0day and linux-next"
