The current implementation of IPoIB-CM uses RC, where Michael has 
admitted that the RC ACKs are actually used as keep alives, no more.

-> under high packet rate there are some ten (hundred?!) --thousands-- 
keep alive messages/second.

This is --very-- poor architecture, the code must move to UC.

The only actual barrier here is FW support for UC/SRQ, the IBTA 
signature can come later (and is on its way).
