Huh? Doesn't PSM3 already use it's own special non-verbs char devices
that already have memory caches and other stuff? Now you want to throw
that all away and do yet another char dev just for HFI? Why?
I also don't know why you picked the name rv, this looks like it has
little to do with the usual MPI rendezvous protocol. This is all about
bulk transfers. It is actually a lot like RDS. Maybe you should be
using RDS?
