+mlx4dv \- Direct verbs for mlx4 devices
+.br
+This is low level access to mlx4 devices to perform data path operations,
+without general branching performed by \fBibv_post_send\fR(3).
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The libibverbs API is an abstract one. It is agnostic to any underlying
+provider specific implementation. While this abstraction has the advantage
+of user applications portability it has a performance penalty. For some
+applications optimizing performance is more important than portability.
+
+The mlx4 direct verbs API is intended for such applications.
+It exposes mlx4 specific low level data path (send/receive/completion)
+operations, allowing the application to bypass the libibverbs data path API.
+
+This interface consists from one hardware specific header file
+with relevant inline functions and conversion logic from ibverbs structures
+to mlx4 specific structures.
+
+The direct include of mlx4dv.h together with linkage to mlx4 library will
+allow usage of this new interface.
+
+Once an application uses the direct flow the locking scheme is fully managed
+by itself. There is an expectation that no mixed flows in the data path for both
+direct/non-direct access will be by same application.
