Sort of, see below:

We stil always have the common structure first.  And at least for
cgroups supports that's what matters.

Re the actual structures - we'll really need to make sure we

 a) expose proper userspace abi headers in the kernel for all code
    in the RDMA subsystem
 b) actually use that in the userspace components

I've posted some initial work toward a) a while ago, and once we
agree on adopting your common repo I'd really like to start through
with that work.  I think it's a pre-requisite for any major new
userspace ABI work.
