I think that all the above three should be prioritized to be push for 2.6.20 and can be cool to have them in -mm before so people can experience with them before (the latter two are not part of OFED). The user space support for writing IB/RC ULPs is now in OFED and used by uDAPL which is in turn used in Intel MPI and more products to come, i hope. Exposing IB/UD/Mcast RDMA CM api in user space would allow to offload UDP based ULPs which use IP multicast, which is something also being talked here and there. It makes sense to use the IB mulitcast module in the kernel for keeping refs and managing user space processes SA Join/Leave interaction. It makes much sense to port IPoIB to this module, I saw the patch and basically it seems stright-forward.
