Hi Christoph Hellwig,
surely, I considered that other drivers will be put into the hisilicon
level of the directory hierarchy. These drivers will support RDMA function which
will be developed for a series of hisilicon chip. Because of the consideration, I drop the
level.
In additon that, i thought that the patch of RoCE driver which supported the base function of RDMA is huge. However,
It is not splitted into patches in form of patchset. I don't put a better strategy that it neither make mistakes
of building and running nor huge.
thanks
