This depends on the status of the multicast changes by feature freeze, and which 
kernel OFED wants to ship.  Since multicast support has been requested, I would 
like to get this in.  However, the kernel multicast changes are not in 2.6.20. 
   What's OFED's stance on kernel patches on this?  This is different than the 
local_sa, which is mostly self contained, since the multicast patches affect ipoib.

For now, current branch (rdma_ucm-abi3) that OFED is pulling is fine.

On a side note, I'm not sure that the release should be called 1.0.  When OFED 
1.1 shipped the librdmacm, there was not a release number assigned, and my 
understanding is that the distributors assigned one.  Can we clarify how we want 
to deal with this?
