uDAPL should be included. The different providers were developed to 
support 3 different OpenIB configurations: OpenIB verbs (when there 
was no user space CM), OpenIB verbs + IB CM, and OpenIB verbs + RDMA 
CM. I recommend you include the openib_cma provider and the user space 
RDMA cm library.

kDAPL does not need to be in the release, although it would be trivial 
to include it.

Please let me know if you need any help with this.
