A general API requires something general to be implemented first. That's usually been the problem with driver specific APIs.. Once in a while people try to implement generic concepts drivers specific, in which case it's easy to redirect them to a generic subsystem. It's been a while since I look at HFI, but IIRC only the eeprom bits feel into such an existing categeory. In theory anything PSM specific could fit into a PSM subsystem, but without anyone else even looking into that it's hard to define a subsystem for it. And there's just lots of weird stuff which we'd either need to reject entirely (too late for HFI now) or live with a driver specific API. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
