The only reason I requested this was for the transition period to
minimize the duplication of changes as I am presuming you will want to
continue your branch. Maybe that is an incorrect assumption (or
presumption).

I'm not adverse to a new tree (in fact, openib-candidate would work as a
this branch if it gets filled in.) but was trying to minimize the work
until the phase 1 work was far enough along. I suspect that will take a
little time.

Who would be responsible for duplicating any mthca changes (and other
layers like IPoIB) ?
