I think there's a little bit of leap of logic there. Everyone agrees
that winmodems are bad and yet there's still drivers/char/mwave. This
TOE-phobia feels almost as if in the middle of one of those silly IDE
vs. SCSI flamewars, someone declared that Linux shouldn't have IDE drivers.

Fine. I don't think I have much more to add to the discussion anyway.
The way forward seems to be to merge basic iWARP support that lives in
drivers/infiniband, and then you can accept or reject things for
better integration, like notifiers for routing changes.
