There are plenty of heuristics involved in doing memory registration
caching.  An ugly part of dealing with devices that require it.

As a quick hack, you can edit pvfs2/src/io/bmi/bmi_ib/mem.c to
change ENABLE_MEMCACHE to 0 for the non-server case.  This will
force each read or write operation to do a pair of mem register
and deregister operations.  It doesn't get a lot of testing, but
hopefully will work.  That should change where the memcache_*
functions land in your profile.

Why are you using both mthca.so and libpscrt.so?  Mellanox and
pathscale adapters being used in the same code?

Or we can modify the way the cache is managed.  This would require
knowing a bit more about what your code is doing.  Care to send a
trace, or the code itself?
