Regarding your question where it should go in addition to RDMA, the answer
is netdev ML. The rdmatool is part of iproute2 and the relevant maintainers
should be CCed.
Regarding the change, I don't think that it is right. User space tool is
a simple viewer of data returned from the kernel. It is not a mistake to
return device without netdev.
Thanks
