> Here's a patch that would combine ib_send_mad_wr with ib_send_wr, to optimize sending and completing MADs.  As part of the change, there is a minor adjustment to the ib_wc structure that allows casting it to an ib_mad_send_wc structure to enable an additional optimization on MAD send completion processing.

This is an updated patch based on our previous e-mails.  If no one objects, I will be committing this change within the next day.
