So I cannot rebase siw version 7 (the RFC I sent last week) to its current status. rdma/for-next evolved regarding core object management, and some of siw's verbs method wouldn't fit anymore. So would it be a good idea to rebase it (for the books, since it won't compile), tag it 'RFC version 7', and push needed fixes on top of it to make v7 compile with current rdma/for-next? Unfortunately, some of nw functionality needed by siw was not yet part of rdma/for-next until recently (deselecting TCP port mapper, netlink extensions for device addition), so I worked on my private repo which pulled together needed things from here and there). Since all needed is available in rdma/for-next now, I probably best restart with rebase to it and fix it. Thanks, Bernard.
