Not sure what IBGD is.  The OpenIB svn code matches with that shipping in the
current kernels.

Several modules in svn are not yet available in the kernel, so it depends on
what you are trying to do.

>3. How stable is the subversion code? Is it just for testers?

In general, the tip of svn gen2/trunk is stable.  Bugs are usually fixed within
a relatively short time (couple of hours to a day).  The drawback is that it
targets the latest kernel release; however, backport patches are available.
