Can we try to add an opaque object that can encapsulate memory<br>
registration such that dynamic windows 2.0 would not have so many<br>
problems? If one were to send-recv not just the virtual address but<br>
MPI_Win_memobj (to be named properly later), then maybe we could deal<br>
with the shortcomings of IB, etc. w.r.t. RDMA and memory registration.<br>
<br>
This is really just a thought. I have no concrete proposal. Maybe<br>
people will have ideas in December.<br>
