I have no plans to change any of the copyright notices on the code.  I
see quite a few other dual licensed drivers in the Linux kernel tree
so I don't see why the current status quo would be a problem.

You can't guarantee that someone won't come along and write some IB
driver and get it merged upstream without a BSD license.  So there's
not much we can do anyway.
