I don't think it makes much difference.  I think there is just 1 place we use
that.

How would this make patch 12 cleaner?

I do see 1 remaining place where the sizeof is used in patch 12 which I can
probably remove.


The other purpose of this patch is to make those functions which used to
process ib_rmpp_mad's generic for both IB and OPA, I'll make that clear
directly in this patches comment.
