A patch would be great, though even what you posted is a fairly big help.

It sounds like something like this is also needed on the IB side as well, so I'm
still uncertain if the code should go in the iwcm, rdma_cm, or some sort of mix.
Steve was suggesting having the port space global across the rdma_cm, which is
my actual preference, but then the RDMA port spaces end up needing to be synched
with the TCP port space...  Do you have an idea for how to handle this?
