Agreed..

Can you also discuss what is going on at the PCI-E level? How are the
peer-to-peer transactions addressed? Is this elaborate scheme just a
way to 'window' GPU memory or is the NIC sending special PCI-E packets
at the GPU?

I'm really confused why this is all necessary, we can already map
PCI-E memory into user space, and there were much simpler patches
floating around to make that work several years ago..
