Kernel module?

[Jason Bacon]

Now I see, thanks.

It might be good to update the wiki with all the recent developments:

     https://wiki.freebsd.org/InfiniBand

It looks pretty outdated, and it's the first thing that comes up on a 
Google search for "freebsd infiniband".  If nobody else is inclined to 
do so, I'd be happy to do it myself assuming I can get write access.

Regards,

     JB
