Is this a bugfix that is needed for 2.6.27?

Yes, definitely. The eHCA userspace driver relies on the name attribute to 
check for valid adapters (it checks that the name is "lhca"), so with the 
name attribute gone, eHCA userspace will cease to work.

OK, I'll put it in.  Please, in future, always say explicitly if you
think a patch needs to go in to the kernel we're currently
stablizing.  Otherwise, I'll generally assume it's for the next merge
window.
