There is a suggestion from Eduard from Qlogic to have the backports ad
different branches and not as today.
He will start a mail thread on his suggestion.
The attached file in pdf format has the proposal. It is also inlined in
text below so its easier to comment on. The pdf has 2 diagrams which
should make it easier to understand the changes that are proposed.
Comments are welcome.

I like this approach. I would also do the same thing with kernel_addons so
that each branch is just a specific backport.
What are there any disadvantages to your proposal?
Did you get a chance to investigate the other backport projects from this
thread? https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/9/327
Some of us have been reviewing this work.
We don't see how this could be used with distro kernels (which we would
need for OFED).
