Hi Greg - The irdma driver is the virtbus driver that would bind to the virtual devices created in this netdev driver. It is decoupled from this series as it was deemed in a prior discussion that irdma driver would go in a +1 cycle from net series to avoid conflicts. See discussion here -- https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/46ed855e75f9eda89118bfad9c6f7b16dd372c71.camel@xxxxxxxxx/ The irdma driver is currently posted as an RFC series with its most recent submission here -- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/20200417171251.1533371-1-jeffrey.t.kirsher@xxxxxxxxx/ Shiraz
