And will move the hfi_vnic module under
‘drivers/infiniband/ulp/hfi_vnic’.

I would prefer drivers/net/ethernet

This is clearly not a ULP since it doesn't use verbs.

I understand it is not using verbs, but the control path (ib_device client) is 
using verbs (IB MAD).
Our prefernce is to keep it somewhere under drivers/infiniband. Summarizing 
reasons again here,

- VNIC control driver (ib_device client) is an IB MAD agent.
- It is purly a software construct, encapsualtes ethernet packets in Omni-path 
packet and depends on hfi1 driver here for HW access.

Doug,
Any comments?
