OK, I am with you on my inaccuracy, however, it does not make any sense 
to have the RDS IB transport code loaded when there's no Infiniband 
running on the node. With the current code the RDS module will not load, 
ofcourse... From what I see, for the most part, the infrastructure work 
to separate the RDS core code from the RDS trnasports into different 
modules is there, eg the transport API etc. What other work you think 
need to be done, are there some paths in the code that bypass the 
transport API?

Or.
