I was thinking the same thing.  Otherwise you're just setting a booby
trap for someone who tries to use SRQ for something else.

However it may be a good approach to put an abstraction layer in IPoIB
so that the CM code can use an SRQ-like interface to both HCAs that
support SRQ and HCAs that don't.
