  Description     : user space library for SoftiWARP device

 A software-based iWARP stack that runs at reasonable performance levels and
 seamlessly fits into the OFA RDMA environment provides several benefits:
  - As a generic (RNIC-independent) iWARP device driver, it immediately
    enables RDMA services on all systems with conventional Ethernet adapters,
    which do not provide RDMA hardware support.
  - Soft-iWARP can be an intermediate step when migrating applications and
    systems to RDMA APIs and OpenFabrics.
  - Soft-iWARP can be a reasonable solution for client systems, allowing
    RNIC-equipped peers/servers to enjoy the full benefits of RDMA
    communication.
  - Soft-iWARP seamlessly supports direct as well as asynchronous
    transmission with multiple outstanding work requests and RDMA operations.
  - A software-based iWARP stack may flexibly employ any available hardware
    assists for performance-critical operations such as MPA CRC checksum
    calculation and direct data placement. The resulting performance levels
    may approach those of a fully offloaded iWARP stack.
 .
 This is the user space library that can be used with the SoftiWARP kernel
 module.
