[openib-general] SDP use of CMA

[Tom Tucker]

Not to jump in late on this, but why couldn't we just add a protocol
parameter to the create_id call. Then it is arbitrarily extensible ala
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, <protocol!!!>)


So what I'm specifically suggesting is:

struct rdma_cm_id* rdma_create_id(rdma_cm_event_handler* cm_handler,
				  void* context,
				  rdma_cm_proto proto);


Then we don't need a new call, it's extensible to new protocols, and
it's not a single purpose is_sdp parameter.
