I'm not opposed to rolling back the RC1 changes for vmw_pvrdma. There are
fairly trivial. However, you would have find out the various differences
between rdma-core-12 and 13, f.e. bug fixes, functionality changes, etc.
and how those impact the existing providers.

The other thing I wanted to point out was regarding the Qlogic provider -
rdma-core-12 added them as a user space provider but there isnt a kernel 
driver in OFED 4.8. I believe they were added as a provider in 4.9 kernel.
Not sure, if that is an issue for you guys.

Thanks,
