8	This driver implements the InfiniBand RDMA transport over
9	the Linux network stack. It enables a system with a
10	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a RoCE
11	adapter or with another system running the RXE driver.
12	Documentation on InfiniBand and RoCE can be downloaded at
13	www.infinibandta.org and www.openfabrics.org. (See also
14	siw which is a similar software driver for iWARP.)

16	The driver is split into two layers, one interfaces with the
17	Linux RDMA stack and implements a kernel or user space
18	verbs API. The user space verbs API requires a support
19	library named librxe which is loaded by the generic user
20	space verbs API, libibverbs. The other layer interfaces
21	with the Linux network stack at layer 3.
