The inifiniband can be fixed by compiling with OFED into the world, kernel
also...... ive been down that road before a few months back
I think after speaking to  Emmanuel a few months back, which ill dig up his
email and you can see what he believes will also need to be addressed
I thought it best to port the netbsd fuse work he did to FreeBSD then
hopefully get further alone, ill check the patch again previous work i
have.
i did at once get to a point where i could load and run the daemon but
creating filesystems, IFIRC was problematic.
