Thanks. So does this mean that the libraries distributed via OFED (openfabrics.org) will be now from the rdma-plumbing git tree?
Or is the switch to happen only when distros start shipping with the 4.9 kernel by default?
We are still discussing this within the OFA EWG for the OFED releases. I suspect that if all of the maintainers of the user-space 
packages agree to merge into and support this new merged repo-model, then OFED would eventually base their OFED user-space packages
on that repo, rather than the individual repo's that are used today. The question is, when. Work has now just started on OFED-4.8,
that is based on the kernel.org 4.8 kernel. If this new scheme works with kernel.org 4.8, then it is possible that it could go into that OFED-4.8
Release, but again, we are still looking at the new scheme and evaluating how it affects the community OFED.
