I think there is no irony in this. From my understanding of the thread
the higher level of integration is what Dave is striving to. This will
allow linux users to have latest and greatest most RFC compliant and
secure TCP stack and at the same time enjoy 10Gb performance. He doesn't
want to have two different TCP implementation on the same machine (or
more if you install several different TOE cards).

Is it possible to implement RDMA semantics using linux native TCP stack
(with hardware assistance of cause)? Just asking.
