This patch doesn't seem like the right approach to me.  I don't think
we want to put CM methods, which are not very verb-like, in to the
device structure.  For one thing, connect_qp() seems like it can just
be replaced by the existing modify_qp() method.

I'm not sure I understand the rest of the methods.  It seems that the
Ammasso device doesn't really implement the RNIC verbs.  I'm guessing
you handle all the connection stuff inside your device, which means
that you can't implement the standard iWARP modify-to-RTS operation.

Is there a way to make your interface look more like the iWARP verbs
interface?  Or do all iWARP devices have an interface like yours.

 - R.
