By the way, just to be clear, I definitely do support having library
code that makes it easy to perform operations such as, for example,
"connect this QP to such-and-such IP address."  This would be useful
for SDP, NFS/RDMA and iSER, which all should be able to have common
code that runs on top of both InfiniBand and iWARP.
