Tom,

Couple of questions:

I noticed that OFED 1.5.3 was released last week. Are the changes you speak of
part of that release? If not, is there an alternate branch/project that I should
be looking at or into to for the mentioned changes?

Also, I am inferring that the changes allowing the registering of physical
memory will only happen if my application is running in kernel space. Is this
correct? or will I be able to register the physical memory from user space now
as well?
