Now, let me try to lead the way, but being specific. RDMA was raised
as a potential failure case for Tux3 page forking. But the RDMA api
does not let you use memory mmaped by Tux3 as a source or destination
of IO. Instead, it sets up its own pages and hands them out to the
RDMA app from a pool. So no issue. One down, right?

Daniel
