sure for the above, but not the ones below.

Before this patch, this program:
$ cat a.c
#include <uapi/rdma/rdma_netlink.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	printf("RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NDEV_INDEX = %d\n", RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NDEV_INDEX);

	return 0;
}

prints this:
$ ./a.out
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NDEV_INDEX = 50

After this patch,
$ ./a.out
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NDEV_INDEX = 58
