I don't understand. You think there should be an address translation
module, but you object to the *name* ib_at ? (ib_at stands for
"infiniband address translation")
I don't object to the name, just combining the current functionality that ib_at
tries to provide into a single abstraction. I think that the disagreement is
what functionality a core address translation module should provide.
I suggested before that if ib_at should be fixed lets fix it. If API
should be improved or other functionality should be added (or removed)
why not do it in the existing ib_at ?
My preference/current course of action is to extract and improve the ARP based
address translation code from ib_at. My guess is that the ARP based address
translation code will be enough functionality to stand alone in its own module.
If other functionality from ib_at is needed, I'm hoping that it can be build
on top of this service.
