Good to split things into chunks so that it is more manageable for review by the Linux community.
Hardware drivers coming soon. I saw an email on the InfiniBand sourceforge list a couple weeks back that the Mellanox people will be providing open source code for their InfiniBand hardware pretty soon. It may need some rework to meet the standards of the Linux community and fit into the reworked IBAL. I also saw a note from a guy from Fujitsu on the Infiniband list that they have a 2.6 hardware driver for IBAL for their HCA, but I am not sure of their open source plans. Pretty soon, I don't think people will need worry about a lack of InfiniBand open source code. There may be more of it than you will want to deal with.
BTW. The patch on sourceforge should be OK now. My error on initial upload and now fixed. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
