If the community would like to see a 2.6 patch for just the infiniband access layer for starters, I don't think it would be to hard to put something together.
I heard from a friend of mine that 2.6 was closed to new features. What sayith the community on allowing additional experimental drivers (like the infiniband access layer) into 2.6 ? Can we still submit something or do we have to wait till 2.7 ?
In any case, I am sure we can put together a patch and/or a tarball and post it to the sourceforge infiniband web site for those who want to play with the infiniband code on 2.6.

So, for starters, can you or Jerrie post a patch containing just the 2.6 infiniband access layer, Or create a new BK tree for 2.6 infiniband stuff that uses the new 2.6 kbuild system?
