Or,
The sysfs entries you refer to are actually introduced in commit 
7ff93f8b7ecbc36e7ffc5c11a61643821c1bfee5.
Which patches in ofed but not upstream are you referring to?

Jack, Tziporet

Can you clarify the status of the upstream kernel mlx4 multi-protocol support? 
looking on Linus git, I see one commit, 
7ff93f8b7ecbc36e7ffc5c11a61643821c1bfee5 "mlx4_core: Multiple port type 
support" dated to Oct 2008, wheres ofed ships couple of patches touching this 
area, e.g adding the above sysfs entries. So what is the extra functionality 
introduced or bug/s fixed by those patches? any reason not to push them 
upstream?


Or.
