The implementation is according to Michael Tsirkin's post of August 9:
  [ofa-general] [PATCHv4 RFC] Scalable Reliable Connection: API and documentation	

The Kernel patches (core and mlx4) all assume that Eli Cohen's 17-patch list, posted on September 11,
has been applied (at least those patches which apply to the core and mlx4 modules).

The core patch has been divided in two, for easier understanding.  The first patch implements 
XRC only for the case that ibv_open_xrc_domain() is called with fd = -1 (i.e., the mechanism for
sharing xrc domains between processes on the same host is disabled).
The second core patch adds support for fd indicating a created/opened file.
