No idea what you mean.  I'm fine with HFI living in drivers/infiniband,
although other places for it might not be wrong either.

I'm not fine with HFI exposing the non-verbs interfaces through
drivers/infiniband/core interface, which as far as I can tell it
currently does not even do, although some discussions here suggest
that a future interface should cater to those interface.

The real mistake was adding usnic, which has not business in
drivers/infiniband/ at all.
