Lets look at an example like pingpong.c
I think its cleanest for this test to have --inline flag which would
make all work requests inline.
The test will then create the qp setting the right inline size.
If the user passed a size too big to be inline, we want the test to
be able to detect this and print a clear error message, not fail in
create_qp.
Right?
