I'm not sure whether this overlaps with Sean's imminent patches so I'll
hold off on this for now until I see or hear something. (I don't think
it does but want to be sure). Also, since I haven't heard back, I would
assume the additional parameter needs to be added to ib_free_recv_mad.

I think the signature for ib_free_recv_mad needs to add in a mad_agent
parameter as there is currently no need to know which mad_agent was
returning the buffers but there will be for the ref counting. Do you see
some other way to do this ?

Also, with this, I now see what you were saying about partially
reassembled (RMPP) receives. 

BTW, there are 2 comments in ib_unregister_mad_agent referring to both
of these:

/* Note that we could still be handling received MADs */

/* XXX: Cleanup pending RMPP receives for this agent */
