Chelsio's T3 card supports iWARP (RDMA over TCP). I've ported
OpenFabric's kernel infrastructure for supporting RDMA to FreeBSD. Do
we think that other RDMA providers (IB or iWARP) will be interested
in supporting FreeBSD? If so it makes sense to put it under
sys/contrib/rdma, otherwise I'll just add it as another module under
cxgb.

It seems unlikely that anyone would bother with IB without RDMA. I
can't see any value in mixing it with the cxgb bits.


I know at least one group that is looking at IB and yeah, the RDMA
should be generally consumable. BrooksACK += 1.
