It appears then that given max_cm_retries, remote_cm_response_timeout,
and primary_path->packet_life_time (or local_ack_timeout), the CM can
issue retries automatically for the user. Does this sound correct?
I will plan on having the code issues retries. (I'm assuming that the
Topspin CM does this, which is where I'm planning on pulling code over
from.)
