a) I added this new verb in order to expose the creation flag
IB_QP_CREATE_BLOCK_MULTICAST_LOOPBACK from the kernel to
userspace.
We want to let the user the option to choose it as a creation
flag if they want.
If you'll merge it in, I'll post a patch to support it in
rdma_cm.
Currently the only component using this flag is IPOIB.
b) I know that XRC was submitted before my patches.
However, since I don't know when the XRC will be merged,
I reposted a series of patches that don't need the XRC in order
to apply mine.

a) your patches look pointless, because they add a new userspace
interface and then don't actually hook anything in libibverbs up to
the new interface.
b) is there any reason why your patches are so important that I should
skip merging the XRC work that was submitted before yours and jump to
apply yours first?
