In query_port() we pass the address of a local pvrdma_port_attr
struct to the rdma_query_backend_port() function.  Unfortunately,
rdma_backend_query_port() wants a pointer to a struct ibv_port_attr,
and the two are not the same length.

Coverity spotted this (CID 1507146): pvrdma_port_attr is 48 bytes
long, and ibv_port_attr is 52 bytes, because it has a few extra
fields at the end.

Fortunately, all we do with the attrs struct after the call is to
read a few specific fields out of it which are all at the same
offsets in both structs, so we can simply make the local variable the
correct type.  This also lets us drop the cast (which should have
been a bit of a warning flag that we were doing something wrong
here).

I don't know anything about the rdma code so this fix is based
purely on looking at the code, and is untested beyond just
make check/make check-avocado.

Fortunate but also kind of amusing :)

Ping for review/testing by the rdma folks, please ?
Whose tree should this patch go through?

Maybe this could go via qemu-trivial?

Is anybody still using this subsystem? ... if not, then it's maybe time to 
set this on the deprecation list? ... just my 0.02 €.

I applied this to my trivial-patches tree for now.

There were several security issues in this area, I think
one of them is still open with a patch posted to the list
but no one were able to review it because the code is rather
scary (iirc it was Phil who tried to review it but failed).

Here's what I have in debian for quite some time:

  # pvrdma is an extension/optimisation for vmxnet3 vmware virtual network
  # adapter. This piece of code seems to be buggy and poorly maintained,
  # resulting in numerous security issues which comes unfixed for long time.
  # This device isn't native for qemu.  # Just disable it for now.
  common_configure_opts += --disable-pvrdma

So yes, it smells like deprecating it is a way to go.

FWIW.
