I'm puzzled how I missed libnl, in particular. I don't know whether the Python support is really worth it, but it's in the Fedora rpm, and I'll try to fit it in. I'd expect rdma-core in linux.scm not to be the userspace components, but then I'm also puzzled why I didn't find verbs with --search and it was on Ludo's todo list. I'll look at psm support and libfabrics when I have a chance.
