Most of them are one-line debugging dprintks which I do not intend to apply.

One of them confuses a readdir optimisation with a bugfix; at the very least the patch comments need changing.
That leaves 2 that can go in, however as they are clearly insufficient to make RDMA safe for general use, they certainly do not warrant a stable@ label. The workaround for the Oopses is simple: use TCP.
