I will let Roland speak for the mthca driver, but we have stopped
maintaining the ipath driver in the SVN tree, and I expect that we will
remove it entirely in perhaps a month or so.

I have no stake in what happens to those components, but I would not
personally mind if they moved into Roland's git tree.  I don't care for
git, but I vastly prefer using it to waiting for SVN.

One possibility would be to pull the same components out of a branch of
a git tree; same procedure, different source.
