before, maybe take a look on the IB spec... see the spec references 
mentioned by the patch to support IB_QPT_RAW_ETY which posted to the 
list in the past, but didn't make it to upstream yet @ 
http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2008-December/055954.html

Also, IBA  chapter 2, states that "Raw Datagram - A packet that contains 
an IBA Local Route Header, may contain an IBA Global Route Header, but 
does not contain an IBA Transport header, and is not handled by IBA 
transport services",
&& chapter 3, section 3.6.2 "IBA TRANSPORT SERVICES" explains everything 
in detail, including what is the difference between raw ethernet to raw 
ipv6, look for "The Raw Datagram service is not technically a transport 
but rather it is a data link service that allows a QP to send and 
receive raw datagram messages" and following text.
