A shared software library inside the InfiniBand subsystem that implements common RDMA verbs transport logic used by other RDMA providers (such as hfi1 and qib). It is not tied to any specific piece of hardware on its own; it exists so multiple drivers can share the same verbs implementation instead of each reimplementing it.
This is not actually a hardware driver directory; it is a common helper library that other InfiniBand/RDMA drivers link against to share verbs transport code. It does not make sense to evaluate it for keep-or-remove on hardware-relevance grounds — its fate is tied to the drivers that depend on it.

codex reasoning notes (technical)
Not a driver directory: in-tree metadata identifies rdmavt as a common software RDMA verbs transport library/shared provider, not standalone kernel-bound hardware driver code.
