Noob question - how does RDMA integrate with the out of tree junk?
AFAIU it's possible to run the "in-tree" RDMA stack and get "GPU
direct".

Both Jonathan in the past (Meta) and now Mina (Google) are trying 
to move the needle and at least feed the GPUs over TCP, instead of
patented, proprietary and closed RDMA transports.
