Yes, -mm seems like a good way to get more review.

Further, in the hope that this will help keep things reasonably stable till
Roland comes back, and help everyone see what's being merged, I have
created a git branch for all things infiniband going into 2.6.18.

You can get at it here:
	git://www.mellanox.co.il/~git/infiniband  mst-for-2.6.18

This currently includes a single patch from Venkatesh Babu:
	IB/core: Set alternate port number when initializing QP attributes.

that has been checked into openib svn by Sean.

Please Cc me on infiniband patches that are going to be merged and I'll do my
best to compile, test and if it works put them there.  If everyone does this, I
also hope this will help Roland when he's back to figure out where do things
stand.

Thanks,
