[openib-general] [PATCH 0 of 16] ipath - driver submission for 2.6.17

[Bryan O'Sullivan]

This is a submission of the ipath driver for inclusion in 2.6.17.
Roland, if this looks good to you, please apply.

Changes since the last round of review comments from Roland:

- Support for PathScale userland SMA dropped

- Passes sparse with CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__

- Builds cleanly on ia64

- A few other little fixes here and there

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

The ipath driver is a driver for PathScale InfiniPath host channel
adapters (HCAs) based on the HT-400 and PE-800 chips, including the
InfiniPath HT-460, the small form factor InfiniPath HT-460, the InfiniPath
HT-470 and the Linux Networx LS/X.

The core driver manages the hardware, and provides a fast memory-mapped
interface to the hardware for userspace networking applications.
Our implementation of the Infiniband protocols and integration into the
kernel's Infiniband stack is written as a layer on top of the core driver.
