WinOF has asynchronous interfaces for modify QP, and limited testing has shown
that it can improve connection times.  QP transitions are probably the second
largest component of connection setup after the SA.  Since the RDMA CM already
provides an asynchronous interface, even existing apps may be able to be able to
gain some benefit from this.
