x-rdma-pin-all is a better choice. x-rdma-pin-uninitialized is also too low level. Since this series is likely to miss 1.5 at this point, we could implement the unregistration part of the protocol in the destination. This way, any heuristic we add to the source will not break backwards compatibility. Paolo
