Currently there is inconsistency in the naming of the RoCE technology.

85
All in the driver code.
12:27:48 > grep -r iboe drivers/infiniband | grep -v Binary | wc -l
130
Mainly in the core and mlx4 driver.
This patch was to clean up the management helper function as a general move toward standardizing on roce rather than iboe. Most people in the community refer to this as "RoCE" so that name was chosen to move to.

I asked about changing all the references and Doug mentioned he would make a patch to change the other references. Personally I don't want to see a massive rename patch but this could be done.
