Kip,

Could you put up a snapshot of the changes somewhere, along with some 
documentation as to the architecture, changes to FreeBSD, changes to the 
openfabric bits, etc, and pointers to any pertinent documentation that may 
already exist and would answer obvious and less obvious questions?

Thanks,
