Nope, I have never had the curiosity to check that on a MP. Anyone on 
the list with a 760 MP to run "/sbin/lspci -tv" ?

That should be easy. The support has been added to GM-1.5.1: you just 
need to mmap the PCI/AGP memory into user space, and then gm_register 
the segment. You can then send/recv from/to this piece of memory. It 
should even be possible to send/recv with MPICH-GM when the PCI space is 
mapped in user space. Note that it's only supported on x86, as there is 
holes in the address space on Alpha and IA64.
