My reasoning was that now that the file is upstream, it is really part
of the Linux SCSI stack and shouldn't really be maintained in the
openib svn repo.  There's nothing IB-specific about it, and in fact I
need to migrate drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi to using it.

However my reasoning could easily be all wrong -- what are the
advantages of having it in openib svn?
