If you do not use InfiniBand, you can safely ignore this Flag Day.

InfiniBand users, the integration of:

6791308 IBTF IP addr interface does not work with IPv6 addrs (use ip2mac
ipv6 part)
6822132 ibt_ip_addr_t needs scope_id reserved space

constitutes a Flag Day, primarily for modules who uses ibt_ip_addr_t
structure.   Running any newly built drivers which uses new
ibt_ip_addr_t structure on older kernels will not work.  As usual,
doing "nightly", and running "bfu" on the resulting archives, is a
good way to get passed this flag day.

Please contact ibtf at sun dot com for any inquiries.
