[openib-general] IB: I don't like what I'm seeing.

we don't believe in HCA reliability here. It has not worked once in all 
the years of delivered networks. We're going to assume, unless we can see 
BER of 10-21 app-to-app, that the network is unreliable. So, yes, toss and 
start over is not inconceivable.

On the other hand, if we do get a perfect network, app to app, nobody's 
going to complain, but until we see it at scale 1024+, I am not sure we 
can really count on it. 

Sorry if I upset anyone on this list with my comments -- forgot it was 
this open and it was early morning. But the code still worries me.
