I have a strong objection to making it block. 

Our goal is to provide an interface with semantics similar to the 
sockets interface. A socket's listen function does not block (e.g. 
inet_listen). 

Since not blocking is what ULPs expect, kDAPL's listen function does 
not block. The same should be true of the CMA function.
