Well, I need to think over the patch a little more.  The risk is
certainly not zero, since we are changing device initialization for all
mlx4 devices.  And I'm not sure if missing 2.6.31 support is that big a
deal for you, is it?  How many users do you have building their own
upstream kernels?  You're just going to tell everyone to use OFED
anyway, right?
