The most you can kmalloc() is 128KB unless this
This can all be done with a device file and a corresponding module to

There is a possibility I could work on here at LLNL. My group has
been talking about investigating Infiniband and we figured Linux would
be a good spot to start with it. The ASCI Purple machine (100 TFLOPS)
will probably use IB for it's I/O network, though there is obviously
no commitment to is
