Implements the IB core disassociate_ucontext API. The driver detaches the HW

remap them to an arbitrary kernel page returned by the zap API.



Guys,

Can we somehow make this patch generic (e.g land in the IB core) such that it can apply also for mlx5 (and other HW drivers...) basically, the HW driver should tell the IB core which pages to zap and we should be OK, isn't that?

Or.
