Where were you last year when the IB verbs header files/API were being
discussed.
Seems like that was the time to discuss new APIs. 
Now it is a bit late to propose something totally new like RNIC-PI.
The best thing to do now is to try to influence the existing code 
base to meet your needs rather than recommend a totally new API.
And the best way to do that is to make changes to the code that exists 
or write new code and send in patches to the list so that it can be
discussed.
