I see.

Same negligence on both our parts ...

Great, thanks, will have a look asap.

Ah, this happens, when things are put aside for so long :) I had a rebuild
of rdma-core locally here with an included ibacm-dev to test opa-ff ...
Will push the relevant changes tomorrow and initiate an upload.

Good point. I don't have this on my list. If you want to work on this,
please file an ITP and open a salsa repo. I will help out when necessary.

Agreed

Will look at it asap.
