I experimented with re-tasking rxe to act as a soft-IB. The only reason to do this was to run IPOIB, and the system was very small. So in that instance I did benefit from running without may of the IB modules - but I would have been entirely happy with a CONFIG_XX controlled by CONFIG_EMBEDDED, since the system didn't use modules at all anyhow. I agree that there are too many IB modules - the main problem is that they do not demand-load. Just today I had to walk someone through loading rdma_ucm because the system was brand new Ubuntu and there is no automatic script to load them. There is sort of a general failing of the module dependency/autoload system here that would be awesome to fix..
