There really isn't much.

Originally, it was used to provide an API which worked on CMAN and GuLM
clusters.  We've since decided that we did not need two infrastructures,
so we no longer have Magma (in -head; it's still in STABLE and RHEL4
branches).

You should use the CMAN API and the DLM API instead of Magma if you need
compatibility between current stable/RHEL4 and future release(s).
