Hi Sean,

Can you remind (me...) what areas of the cma u/k interface seem to be
not mature enough?

upstream CMA can be a significant step in the sense of distros (eg
SLES10 SP1 and RH5) kernel IB functional enough for production, as the
primary inteface for "RDMA communication managment" the uCMA is and
would be vastly used, so there should be good reason why not to push
it for 2.6.18 .

Or.
