It would be good if we started updating the driver versions that
are embedded in the driver. It makes tracking down "known bugs"
and "known fixes" alot easier later once distro's start sending
this out to customers. Openib code will become a collection of
seperate drivers once we have "stable" releases that are
used by customers. Each driver will need it's own revision
history once some peon like me has to maintain it.

I'm going through this exercise with tg3 driver for "IOX Core LAN"
issues and Dave Miller's made my life *alot* easier by regularly
rolling the tg3 version # and release date.

thanks,
grant
