I would prefer drivers/net/ethernet
This is clearly not a ULP since it doesn't use verbs.
I understand it is not using verbs, but the control path (ib_device client) is
using verbs (IB MAD).
Our prefernce is to keep it somewhere under drivers/infiniband. Summarizing
reasons again here,
- VNIC control driver (ib_device client) is an IB MAD agent.
- It is purly a software construct, encapsualtes ethernet packets in Omni-path
packet and depends on hfi1 driver here for HW access.
Doug,
Any comments?
