You can read the IB version of that function. It's pretty
straightforward: linearize the send buffers as you ship it
across the wire to the receiver. It seems more complex to
send a list of buffers to the receiver and force him to
put it into his receive buffer, as the receiver doesn't care
how the sender had the data arranged in memory.
