You keep reposting this, yet this SDK shim^W^W driver is still living in
drivers/misc. If you want to make it look like a NIC, the code belongs
where NIC drivers are.

Then again, is it a NIC? Why do you have those custom IOCTLs? That's far
from normal.

Please make sure to CC linux-rdma. You clearly stated that the device
does RDMA-like transfers.
