[ofa-general] iSER header

Hello,
	I have been looking over the latest Linus git repo and I
stumbled upon, what appears to be, an inconsistency between the iSER
header used in the kernel and the latest iSER draft
(draft-ietf-ips-iser-06.txt):

struct iser_hdr {
        u8      flags;
        u8      rsvd[3];
        __be32  write_stag; /* write rkey */
        __be64  write_va;		<------------------------------
        __be32  read_stag;  /* read rkey */
        __be64  read_va;		<------------------------------
} __attribute__((packed));


The two fields `write_va' and `read_va' seem to be extra fields that are
not defined by the draft.  Won't these fields present interoperability
issues with conformant iSER implementations?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
