I am not aware that any work was done.
I skimmed through the obsolete documentation and here are some thoughts
about the update:
* rdma-core bundles most of the source package
* The packages are available in Debian 10 (buster) and on
stretch-backports
* The binary package rdma-core takes care of loading all
the kernel modules
* rdma-ndd (in rdma-core) takes care of naming the node
* If you want newer code, grab it from
https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core
