To help with OFED feature level compatibility, I'm in the process of adding a 
new call to ibverbs:

struct ib_qp_open_attr {
        void (*event_handler)(struct ib_event *, void *);
        void  *qp_context;
        u32    qp_num;
};

struct ib_qp *ib_open_qp(*xrcd, *qp_open_attr);

This provides functionality similar to ib_reg_xrc_recv_qp().  It allows any 
process within the xrcd to modify the tgt qp and receive events.  Its use is 
not required, so we can support both usage models.

I believe we can define this generic enough that it could eventually be used to 
share other QP types among multiple processes, though more infrastructure would 
be needed.
