API is unlikely to change too much in the future.

I'm not as sure about the API. Is it necessary to abstract away QPs, CQs, etc. from the user? (The answer may depend on the intersection of the Infiniband and RNIC APIs.) Is it possible to just extract out the kDAPL connection semantics and layer it directly over verbs?

In addition to the streamlined connection management interface, kDAPL also provides a unified event model. This is another feature that the verbs do not provide.

Thus an app could talk directly to verbs and the kDAPL connection manager, rather than verbs and the kernel CM and SA client modules.
