How does that still compile? We removed ib_query_gid() from the rdma
tree and replaced it with rdma_get_gid_attr()..

I think the merge resolution is going to be a bit nasty to absorb
that much changing..

Perhaps we should add a compatability ib_query_gid back to the RDMA
tree and then send DaveM a commit to fix SMC and remove it during the
next cycle? Linus can resolve smc_ib.c by using the net version

Does someone else have a better idea?

Thanks,
