The issue is this. I am working on putting together an OFA integration
tree that integrates several components from several different
developers.
The same will be true when we start to integrate code into OFED 1.2.
Most code will come from Linus's tree, but some code will need to
come directly from the developer's git trees and we will need 
a way to generate a patch for only your code, as we will get things like
the local_sa cache code directly from Sean's. 

So if you can make a branch that only contains the cxgb3 code, it makes
generating a patch with only your code easier, and this will be needed
both for my early OFA integration work and also for OFED 1.2. 
Once your code is upstream, life is easier as we will get it from
linus, until then we'd like a way to patch the existing released kernel
(2.6.19 in this case) with your code. 

make sense ?
