Hi Roland-

The client side support for an RPC/RDMA module is almost completely
integrated into mainline. There is still a minimal set of patches
required to support alternate transports in loadable kernel modules
which Trond has indicated he will integrate when the RPC/RDMA transport
is ready to be integrated.

At this time I'm not aware of a plan to integrate server-side support
for NFS/RDMA. Perhaps the NetApp RDMA developers could respond.
