I was trying to make the CM interface use byte ordering consistent with 
related interfaces.  For PSN, I tried to use host-ordering to match the 
  QP modify call.  There was a bug in ib_send_cm_rep; it should have 
expected host order.  (The cm_msgs interface should be defined with all 
input/output in network byte order.)

As it looks now, the only fields into the CM that should be in host 
order are: PSN, QPN, and QKey.
