I would like to implement it simply by adding a new verb (kind of extended create_qp). I think this implementation will have similar characteristics with the XRC. Do you have any suggestions or preferences?

Hi Roland,

Can you comment on that? basically the thing is that we want to expose 
some functionality to user space which already exists in the kernel, 
such as block multicast loopback and CQ moderation.

We understand that Jack is working now on the XRC merge whose volume is 
much more bigger, and there's no intention to step or disturb on this 
effort, just want you to have in mind these
smaller changes and ask what's your thinking on the way to do them. It 
seems to me more constructive then to just send patches on top of Jack 
ones...
