First? 

People are supposed to provide their kernel patches and matching
rdma-core patches together for review.

The rdma-core patche should be pushed to github with a temporary
"update kernel headers" commit

That PR gets tagged with the "needs-kernel-patch" label

When the kernel side is done then the base headers update commit is to be replaced
with the final commit using the actual kernel header.

During all of this the github PR should be forced pushed with any
updates and changes.
