Ok, I do understand Jason's point that we should probably not put this driver
under drivers/infiniband/sw/.., as this driver is not a HCA.
It is an ULP similar to ipoib, built on top of Omni-path irrespective of
whether we register a hfi_vnic_bus or a direct custom interface with HFI1.
This ULP will transmit and recieve Omni-path packets over the fabric, and is
dependent on IB MAD interface and the HFI1 driver.

Doug,
Will it be acceptable if we put it under 'drivers/infiniband/ulp/hfi_vnic'?
