I'm not sure if there's a real demand for this transport for OFED users,
is there? Adding qla4xxx will require backport patches for all supported
distros, and we don't have the HW to test it. Therefore, unless it's
really important for enough OFED users, I don't think that we should add it.

BTW - I don't mind if other people add the required code to OFED 1.4 for
qla4xxx support.
