Looks good.
After adding/changing your staff and rebase from ofed_kernel you should check the compilation on the OFA server:

  nice -n 19 env USE_CONF=0 git_url=/home/<username>/scm/ofed_kernel.git \
	git_branch=ofed_kernel \
	CHECK_CROSS=yes CHECK_KERNEL_ORG=yes \
	/home/vlad/scripts/ofed_1_3/build_ofa_kernel.sh

Then send me an email to pull from your git tree.

For userspace git tree you should create branch "ofed_1_3" to be taken to OFED-1.3.
