[ofa-general] Loading Infiniband modules for Xen Guests

[Adit Ranadive]

So, from what I gather from the gmthca_main.c :
serv_port is a socket port on dom0 to which the domU hca will connect to
mc : index to the serv_name array which should indicate the dom0 IP address
domain : is this the domain id for domU?

So really the domU needs networking setup to have the HCA module
loading into the domU?

Thanks,
Adit
