Multicast support has only been exposed to userspace through the librdmacm. 
There's a mckey test app that shows how this can be used.

I will be working on a raw IB multicast / InformInfo userspace support through 
January.  There is an older userspace SA library that you might be able to play 
with as well, but you'd have to look back through the mail logs to find the patches.
