Your mailer is still mangling long lines, it seems.  If you need a
quick solution, I could offer you a gmail invite.

Those two cases could be combined with a goto.  Saves a tiny amount of
rodata.

You have spaces instead of tabs in the lines the mailer mangled.

Is rblock->num_ports uninitialized when (ehca_nr_ports == 1)?  Looks
rather odd.

A quick grep showed that every single return value of
ib_alloc_device() has a cast.
Roland, can't you just change ib_alloc_device() to return void*?

Is the extra element needed?

	ret = try_something()
	if (ret) {
		...
	}

Why the double cast?
