[openib-general] [RFC] change to ib_create_cm_id()

I'm considering changing the function:

ib_create_cm_id(cm_handler, context);

to

ib_create_cm_id(device, cm_handler, context);

This will bind all cm_id's to a specific device, including cm_id's associated 
with listens.  This will help prevent the CM from returning a cm_id associated 
with a device that a consumer may have already seen as removed.

This appears to be a straightforward change for most clients, but would require 
some work in SDP.

Comments?
