This is a preparation for signature verbs API re-design. In the new
design a single MR with IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY type will be used to perform
the needed mapping for data integrity operations.

Looks good, but thinks like this that are very Linux specific really
should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
Well we used the convention of other exported functions in this .h file.

If the maintainers are not against that, we can fix it.

Jason/Leon/Doug ?
Since it is in a .c file that is dual licensed I have a hard time
justifying the _GPL prefix.

Although I would agree with CH that it does seem to be very Linux
specific.

Honestly, I've never seen a clear description of when to use one or
the other choice.

I'm also not familiar with licensing stuff.

I guess you prefer using the common EXPORT_SYMBOL for verbs.c functions, correct ?
