At least in theory, it should be easy to change the CM threading model 
to 1 thread per processor or a single thread.  I don't know if systems 
are more likely to have more HCA ports or processors, but all of our 
systems here (a few hundred nodes total) have more processors.  And 
given current IB speeds, I suspect this may be the common configuration.
