This is just a copy of mlx4_ib_alloc_fast_reg_mr with
this added:

Are all the driver updates the same? It looks like it.

I'd suggest shortening this patch series, have the core provide the
wrapper immediately:

struct ib_mr *ib_alloc_mr(struct ib_pd *pd,
{
...

    if (pd->device->alloc_mr) {
	mr = pd->device->alloc_mr(pd, mr_type, max_entries, flags);
    } else {
   	if (mr_type != IB_MR_TYPE_FAST_REG || flags ||
	    !ib_dev->alloc_fast_reg_mr)
		return ERR_PTR(-ENOSYS);
	mr = pd->device->alloc_fast_reg_mr(..);
    }
}

Then go through the series to remove ib_alloc_fast_reg_mr

Then go through one series to migrate the drivers from
alloc_fast_reg_mr to alloc_mr

Then entirely drop alloc_fast_reg_mr from the driver API.

That should be shorter and easier to read the driver diffs, which is
the major change here.

This whole section (up to 20) looks reasonable to me..
