Bill, all, just a comment which if needed would be further clarified on 
the sc06 devcon: the "trunk" for the linux kernel IB drivers is Roland's 
GIT tree under kernel.org and this is not technical location. It comes 
to sat that the framework of developing the linux kernel IB drivers is 
the ***linux kernel*** and not this or that trunk/branch of the 
open-fabrics alliance. Specifically, there is no such thing as "OFA 
release" for the kernel drivers, they are developed and released within 
the kernel framework, OFED takes a stable (eg 2.6.18-rc6 on OFED 1.1) 
snapshot of the kernel IB code and further stabilize it for an OFED 
release (this is questionable/discussable as well, along the way we 
might move to push patches to -stable and have OFED release being 
against some -stable release of the kernel).

Or.
