Thanks for applying this.

What I'd really like to be able to do is pull the ib_mad_private receive
buffer off the QP list before polling the CQ, to avoid having to copy the
work completion structure.  This would allow us to use pre-formatted
ib_mad_recv_wc structures as well.

Along those same lines, the send path can be optimized to avoid copying the
work request structure for 256 byte MADs.
