I tried backing out r329391 and r329017 in a local copy and then was
able to merge r320418, r323082, and r326169 in that order without any
conflicts.  But iw_cxgbe/cm.c still doesn't compile in the projects
branch because it has some socket code that relies on some of glebius's
changes available only in head (I checked with him and they aren't
MFC'able).  I'm trying to figure out what to do about those.

And what about the cxgb breakage?  Is there any simple way to make an
old style driver work with the new stack?  T3 iw_cxgb in head was
retired before the ofed overhaul.
