The driver has been around for a while, and my feeling is that it is good enough to merge, even though it could certainly use some cleaning up. However, my feeling is that we don't need to wait for this driver to be perfect before merging it, and that it would be better for everyone if it gets into mainline (eg coordination with Anton's hcall cleanup becomes simpler). Please review and comment, and do let me know if you disagree with my decision to merge this for 2.6.19. (BTW, just to be clear -- I'll collapse this driver into a single git commit with full changelog and Signed-off-by: lines before actually merging it -- the bare patches are just for review) The driver is also available in git for your reviewing pleasure at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git ehca The developers of the driver are cc'ed on this thread and should respond to any comments.
