IB/core: Add raw packet QP type
IB_QPT_RAW_PACKET allows applications to build a complete packet, including L2 headers, when sending; on the receive side, the HW will not strip any headers. This QP type is designed for userspace direct access to Ethernet; for example by applications that do TCP/IP themselves. Only processes with the NET_RAW capability are allowed to create raw packet QPs (the name "raw packet QP" is supposed to suggest an analogy to AF_PACKET / SOL_RAW sockets).
