Following this email I am sending version 2 of the CVE-2016-4565 fix
backports for Precise, Trusty and LTS-Utopic (which I failed to send in
version 1 of these backports).
Both of these backports drop the changes to the HFI driver, which was
merged into the 4.3 kernel only. The Precise backport also adds a new
header file (include/rdma/ib.h) that will contain a single inline
function.
The extra change from v1 is in the ipath driver. This driver is not
modified in the original patch because it was moved to staging in 4.3
(6f9b38903c06 "IB/ipath: Deprecate ipath driver and move to staging.") and
then in 4.5 it was completely removed from the git tree (b85d9905a7ca
"staging/rdma: remove deprecated ipath driver").
