Once that happens we probably want them as separate modules... but for now, with just one, it looks kinda lonely. Should we compile it into rds.ko (and then break out again when there are more), or leave it free-standing? Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Hi Andy,

Basically, my thinking is that each transport should sit in a different 
module, specifically, if down the road more transports are planned. 
However, I would not put effort on that now, but rather through the 
mainline submission cycles. Currently I understand that you've submitted 
everything in one module. So if you still want to go that way for the 
mainline acceptance and later change it as patch set to mainline that 
makes sense too.

Or.
