it's never going to fit any possible future driver.  Dennis and folks
have done great work to move code outside the drivers into a shared
library.  So far it's been driven just by the Intel drivers as that's
the only thing they were interested in.

If you are interested in supporting SoftROCE please work with them
by adjusting the code towards your requirements.  In Linux we have
great results with iterative appoaches and I'd suggest you try it
as well.

You've got the code, so let's work based on that.
