To help with OFED feature level compatibility, I'm in the process of adding a new call to ibverbs:

struct ib_qp_open_attr {
void (*event_handler)(struct ib_event *, void *);
void *qp_context;
u32 qp_num;
};

struct ib_qp *ib_open_qp(*xrcd, *qp_open_attr);

This provides functionality similar to ib_reg_xrc_recv_qp(). It allows any process within the xrcd to modify the tgt qp and receive events. Its use is not required, so we can support both usage models.

I believe we can define this generic enough that it could eventually be used to share other QP types among multiple processes, though more infrastructure would be needed.
