Sean/Roland: I may be the only one using the openib stack for a switch. I don't need the module in question at this point, but I request the group to consider putting all changes for a switch (as well) while adding new functionality.
This way, if and when I get to a point of needing the functionality, I would have something to start with! And I promise to test and send in changes (if required). BTW, as far as the ib_mad/smi stuff goes, I have sent my changes to Hal, since I am running 2.6.12 and it is best if he does the merge (I think he said so already in his email).
