Sure, he will. This is why he added them to TODO so nothing will be lost.

The purpose of this RFC is to get clear view on the rdma_netdev design, understand
the API limitations and provide solid ground for actual IPoIB/HFI-VNIC patches.

It is important to mention, that this RFC is working and curious readers
can start playing with it and/or legacy IPoIB too.

So, the question is really simple. Are the interfaces properly designed
and Erez needs to start working on conversion this RFCs to actual patches?

Thanks
