Glad to hear this :-) I wasn't sure.

I'm going back through my notes and I am currently at a loss on the
precisely what scenario caused me to ask this question :-(

It seems that when ib_create_send_mad is called, the wr_id is the
pointer to the ib_mad_send_buf structure and can no longer be used by
the client. Maybe a way around this is to add another "wr_id" in that
structure which the client could use in this case for any additional
context. Never mind: just saw void *context[2] in that structure just
for precisely what I was looking for here...
