I don't disagree with having a common connection library that supports both 
IB and iWarp, or that you could derive a solution from kDAPL.  But based on 
the proposed APIs that I've seen, I believe that an RNIC could reside under 
IB verbs with minimal changes, and would likely be the best engineered 
solution for including RNIC support in Linux.
