You can't break user facing UAPI like this, sorry.
I was hoping that this could be considered an exception as IWARP has been
deprecated for almost a decade and there is no current product using it.
With the change any old binary will continue to work, a new compilation fill
fail so that the code can be examined, otherwise we will never be able to
reuse this number.

If the above is not acceptable I can revert this part of the change.
Nothing prohibits you from adding the following lines:

+ /* don't use RDS_TRANS_IWARP - it is deprecated */
+ #define  RDS_TRANS_GAP RDS_TRANS_IWARP

Correct. That is what I was planning on doing in case I could not get rid of RDS_TRANS_IWARP. I will resubmit the patch.
