[ofw] why does mthcau link with ibal?

This is very likely a copy paste error.

Please note that for the kernel mlx4_bus.sys does depend on IBAL. The
reason for that is IBAL is implementing some data structure that
mlx4_bus is using.
For the user mode part this is probably a mistake.

Thanks

Subject: [ofw] why does mthcau link with ibal?

I noticed that ibal was loaded while I was trying to run a winverbs
test.  Trying to trace down the why, I noticed that mthcau.dll links
against ibal.  mlx4 does not.

I removed the reference to ibal.lib in the mthcau sources file, and it
built fine.  Is there some reason to keep this link?
