The InfiniBand drivers just merged into the 2.6 tree add a character
device for userspace to send and receive InfiniBand "management
datagrams" (MADs) for each port of each InfiniBand device.  Current
documentation recommends that these character devices be named
/dev/infiniband/umad0, /dev/infiniband/umad1, etc.

Please assign a major number for these devices.

Thanks,
