I didn't read patches yet, and prefer to ask it in advance. Does this
new ULP work with all
drivers/infiniband/hw/* devices as it is expected from ULP?

Like the way ipoib or srp work with all hw devices?  What is the real point of this question?

Leon,
It was already discussed in below threads.

Yes, but you still didn't answer on my question.
From the first link:
------
  If that is your position then this should be a straight up IB ULP that
  works with any IB hardware.

Yes, see my comments in point #3 of my previous email...
------

Can I grab these patches and run on one of 14 drivers available in
drivers/inifiniband/hw/* ?
