From: Moni Shoua <monis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Implicit ODP is a special form of ODP where the entire process memory
space is registered on demand. This may simplify an application's memory
registration scheme.
The kernel may or may not support implicit ODP memory registration and
the application needs to query the device before using it.
Running 'ibv_devinfo -v' will show this capability when it is supported.
Relevant manual pages were updated accordingly.
