If the section stating the different functions seems not useful it can 
be removed, I will be happy to hear what other people think, anyway, 
this section not what this man page is focusing on. I agree that more 
has to be said on issues such as IB/iWARP differences, thread-safety, 
fork, etc, so in case you prefer to see this "more" coming out before 
merging anything, let it be, but please note that its really uneasy for 
new comers to start programming to IB/iWARP without any man page that 
gives some generation notion on what is this libibverbs. In that 
respect, maybe you can merge the first portion of the page without the 
function listing, and later we can add more info on the various issues?

Or.
