[ewg] [PATCH] IB/qib: latest QIB driver fixes

[Ralph Campbell]

No reason not to wait unless it goes beyond OFED-1.5
ship date. I don't think waiting until the last minute
is a good idea. Note that this interface is between ib_qib
and ib_core so if the final form accepted upstream is
different, it can be changed without impact since the kernel
modules are all compiled at the same time. I don't think
this is likely to happen since it fixes Roland's original
concern with exporting struct ib_port.
