(Please don't cross-post multiple mailing lists)
	See also: https://github.com/yaneurabeya/freebsd/tree/ib-modules . Diff that branch and master to see what I've done so far to make the IB stuff into modules (example: https://github.com/yaneurabeya/freebsd/blob/ib-modules/sys/modules/ipoib/Makefile ). It's not perfect, but it's a start. Something that I've wanted to push into the Isilon IB branch for some time, but it's going to take a while before that's committed back to FreeBSD proper I think.
	Please credit me and add sponsored-by: EMC Isilon for the initial work if you push this elsewhere. Otherwise, it's all your's to play with :).
