We want to expose to userspace (and hook to in libibverbs) the ability to
block multicast loopback for a QP. This will enable userspace applications
to get better performance. Ron's patchset does it by exposing it in ib_uverbs,
then posting the command from libibverbs, and going through limlx4.
Is it possible to do it in a better way?

What is the status of XRC patches? AFAIK they were submitted at least six months
ago, but still not merged. Is uverbs/libibverbs/libmlx4 freezed until they will 
be merged?

a) your patches look pointless, because they add a new userspace
   interface and then don't actually hook anything in libibverbs up to
   the new interface.

b) is there any reason why your patches are so important that I should
   skip merging the XRC work that was submitted before yours and jump to
   apply yours first?
