IB/hfi1: Move driver out of staging

2016-05-26T15:35:14Z

The TODO list for the hfi1 driver was completed during 4.6. In addition other objections raised (which are far beyond what was in the TODO list) have been addressed as well. It is now time to remove the driver from staging and into the drivers/infiniband sub-tree. Reviewed-by: Jubin John Signed-off-by: Dennis Dalessandro Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford

IB/ehca: Deprecate driver, move to staging, schedule deletion

2015-09-11T22:13:35Z

The ehca driver is only supported on IBM machines with a custom EBus. As they have opted to build their newer machines using more industry standard technology and haven't really been pushing EBus capable machines for a while, this driver can now safely be moved to the staging area and scheduled for eventual removal. This plan was brought to IBM's attention and received their sign-off.

RDMA/amso1100: Deprecate the amso1100 driver and move to staging

2015-08-29T02:54:49Z

The HW hasn't been sold since 2005, and the SW has definite bit rot. Its time to remove it. So move it to staging for a few releases and then remove it after that. Signed-off-by: Steve Wise Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford

IB/ipath: Deprecate ipath driver and move to staging.

2015-08-29T02:54:49Z

It is now time for the ipath driver to begin to be phased out of the kernel. This patch moves the ipath driver from the Infiniband sub tree to the staging area where it will remain until the code is removed from the kernel in a few releases.

Staging: Add staging/rdma directory and update MAINTAINERS

2015-08-29T02:54:49Z

Create the rdma directory in the staging area for use as we deprecate some older drivers and as we bring in some new drivers that are in need of work. Update the MAINTAINERS file so that updates to these files go to linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org. Expected lifespan of this directory is three releases for any deprecated drivers moved here and an unknown, but theoretically bounded amount of time for the new drivers as a new core RDMA transfer library needs to be written and the drivers modified to use it in order for them to move out of this directory.
