I think you would probably be better off developing the kernel driver as
a branch in an up-to-date kernel tree, and then worrying about backports
later. You could get rid of some of the redundant infrastructure like
dump_hex() and crc32 (too bad IB didn't choose the CRC32C polynomial, so
you can't use the crypto API and get Intel CRC32 instruction
acceleration for free).
