And same breath,here zcopy is No message from user ;-)
ZCOPY is otherwise often tied with RDMA directly.

Renaming churns are not that useful and I definitely agree
with what Dave said if it was renaming change to the
existing code like what you are suggesting with 'rdma'

Anyways I don't want to contest this too much since I can
follow that code and know what each does and means :-)

The comment was long term readability perspective for
some one completely new reading the code and being able to
distinguish the different modes.

Regards,
Santosh
