Sean,

Per my understanding there is practically no IB native (ie without 
out-of-band data such as remote gid/lid etc) way to establish RC 
connections with using libibcm. On the other hand librdmacm does provide 
anything needed for apps using IP semantics. This bring the question why 
keep on supporting libibcm?
