Ok.
My personal taste is to have fewer modules but I can see the reason behind
adding functionality gradually.
If this process will get the new (minimized ib_at) and cma into the kernel
faster, hence allowing transport neutral ULP's (e.g. iSER) to be written over an
upstream code, then I think it's a good course of action.
