I was about to post v2 of my patch to avoid port space collisions with

I've tried to solicit review on it, but I think folks are reluctant...

Well, if it involves /sharing/ port space with the native stack, i.e.
where port 1234 is IB but 1235 is Linux, pretty much all the networking
devs have NAK'd that approach AFAICS.
Jeff, I posted a fix that doesn't do this. No port sharing. The iwarp
device will use its own ip address and subnet to avoid collisions. You
should review the patch when I post v2.
Thanks,
Steve.
