[openib-general] [PATCH] Combine ib_agent into ib_mad module

[Roland Dreier]

    Hal> Combine ib_agent into ib_mad module

Why did you use this approach (move ib_agent_port_{open,close} into
ib_mad.c) rather than the more minimal way I posted, that just had
ib_mad.c register the ib_agent_client?

Does it work for you to use rmmod instead of 'modprobe -r'?  In any
case if nothing depends on the MAD module why does it have to stay
loaded?
