I'll read this over and comment, but to be honest I agree with Dave:
this is a new socket family, and as such it belongs under net/ and
probably should go through Dave's tree (just as the NFS/RDMA changes
went through the NFS trees and the 9p/RDMA changes went through the 9p
tree); even though it heavily uses RDMA I think the upper layer
interface to sockets/networking is more relevant.
