The change listed in 607 is not the only change that is required for  
OMPI's udapl support to work on OFED.  Getting the changes into OMPI  
and rolling another community release (v1.2.3) will take a little  
time (v1.2.2 is due out today/tomorrow and doesn't have these changes).

Having an OFED-specific release of OMPI with the patches required to  
make udapl work is an alternative way to make the OFED 1.2 timetable,  
but the OFED community was previously against this kind of release.   
Do the iWARP vendors have an opinion here?
