This integration brings the NFS/RDMA Solaris Implementation up to date  
with the latest IETF Drafts.  Specifically, it removes support for the  
initial NFS/RDMA implementation (version 0) and adds support for  
rpcrdma [1] and nfsdirect [2] (version 1).

Please note that if a version 0 client contacts a version 1 server,  
the client will revert to IP over IB without intervention from the  
administrator. If a version 1 client contacts a version 0 server, the  
client's mount will hang.  The "proto=tcp" mount option can be used,  
however, to allow the client to mount using IP over IB.


* Also note:

During our test cycle we hit this issue
