Moreover, http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&m=144952098726776&w=2 presents a work that besides keeping the name RVT is far from the immature concept I mentioned earlier and its scope was changed from general purpose solution to Intel and HFI/QIB only. I therefore conclude that the concept of RVT, as it was supposed to be, was abandoned.
