[Sandiaportals-devel] Portals api-side validate

[Kevin P. <ped...@ie...>]

Trammell,
   I thought you would be the best person to address this but please, 
others chime in if you can help.

Why does the api-side nal only have validate()?  invalidate() is 
missing.  I can see how api-side memory validation/invalidation might 
involve the kernel whereas forward might always go to the NIC.  However, 
if the nic can invalidate memory (which I'm assuming it can since 
invalidate() is missing) why can't it also validate it?

Thanks,
Kevin
