Can't think of one, actually. Seems like it would take some kind of error
injection. Maybe drop the peer into a debugger while the tests are
running. The main goal being to see that a timer fired, and at about
the right time.

Hal's right - it does live in an IB-specific file, though that seems to
live in a common directory. I don't think the conversion is sufficiently
general to warrant any special status. Isn't it the case that it is
Mellanox-hardware specific, not even IB-specific?

IOW, I guess it's fine the way it is.

Tom.
