Heh, somehow I thought you might say that :) A new flag seems like the only way then - maybe: IBV_ACCESS_NON_COHERENT - The adaptor and the CPU do not share a coherent view of registered memory. Memory writes from the CPU after ibv_reg_mr completes may not be reflected in the memory viewed by the adaptor. Can only be combined with read only access permissions.
