Subject: RDMA/InfiniBand merge plans for 2.6.30

Since 2.6.29 is out, I should update everyone on 2.6.30 merge plans.
All the pending things that I'm aware of are listed below.  As usual, if
something isn't already in my tree and it isn't listed below, I probably
missed it or dropped it unintentionally.  Please remind me again.

Boilerplate:

As usual, when submitting a patch:

 - Give a good changelog that explains what issue your patch
   addresses, how you address the issue, how serious the issue is, and
   any other information that would be useful to someone evaluating
   your patch or reading it years from now.

 - Please make sure that you include a "Signed-off-by:" line, and put
   any extra junk that should not go into the final kernel log *after*
   the "---" line so that git tools strip it off automatically.  Make
   the subject line be appropriate for inclusion in the kernel log as
   well once the leading "[PATCH ...]" stuff is stripped off.  I waste a
   lot of time fixing patches by hand that could otherwise be spent
   doing something productive like watching youtube.

 - Run your patch through checkpatch.pl so I don't have to nag you to
   fix trivial issues (or spend time fixing them myself).

 - Read your patch over so I don't see a memory leak or deadlock as
   soon as I look at it.

 - Build your patch with sparse checking ("C=2 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__")
   and make sure it doesn't introduce new warnings.  (A big bonus in
   goodwill for sending patches that fix old warnings)

 - Test your patch on a kernel with things like slab debugging and
   lockdep turned on.

And while you're waiting for me to get to your patch, I sure wouldn't
mind if you read and commented on someone else's patch.  None of this
means you shouldn't remind me about pending patches, since I often
lose track of things and drop them accidentally.

Core:

 - Fix for sysfs lifetime problem that could allow userspace to call
   into a device driver after it's unloaded.

 - Several fixes for the MAD handling layer.

ULPs:

 - I have one IPoIB fix merge, and I have the nagging feeling that
   there are still IPoIB crash bugs that I lost track of.

HW specific:

 - I have a few cxgb3 fixes merged already, and I'll merge the EEH
   patch after the net-next tree lands, just to avoid merge hassles.

 - Many nes fixes.

 - Support for port type (IB or Ethernet) autonegotiation for mlx4 devices.

Here are a few topics that I believe will not be ready in time for the
2.6.30 window and will need to wait for 2.6.31 at least:

 - Jack's XRC patch set.  I just need time to work with Jack and clean
   up the code.
