Breaking them before > the scheduled removal time defeats that entire purpose. You don't see in the compiles, but IIRC ipath is unusable after the PAT rework. We've also been ripping out the ULP side of things that would let amso1100/ehca work in any meningful way with the kernel ULPs. The reason I lobbied to get rid of them is specifically because they don't work and maintaining them (ie the driver and the single-use ULP codepath side) is a huge pain. Keeping them around and keeping them compiling defeats the entire point. Just delete them, we don't need to wait for 4.6.
