I've considered uDAPL, but haven't thought through all of the details yet.  My 
hope is that the uCMA will interface to the uCM, userspace SA query code, and 
userspace address resolution code, and will not need to communicate directly 
with the kernel CMA

I'm not sure about this.  I was trying to get this working on IPv4 first, then 
worry about IPv6 later.  However, I tried to avoid assuming that addresses were 
IPv4 where possible.
