I have not really looked at SIW yet either but it seems like there would be a lot of similarities to rxe which would be nice to consolidate especially at the higher layers. To be fair rdmavt had a lot of special things because of the way the hfi1/qib hardware put packets on the wire _not_ using nor wanting something like an skb for example. My gut says that SIW and rxe are going to be similar, and different from hfi1/qib (rdmavt) so I'm not sure trying to combine them will be worth the effort.
At this point, no. rdmavt is probably going to stay what it is. What could have or should have been can be debated, but at this point I see no reason to try and shoe horn them all together.
