You're right. The DAT consumer thread calling dat_ep_free() will never 
be a provider (or verbs) thread.

It looks like there needs to be some synchronization around destroying 
the cm_id with the dapli_thread(), though. 

Could we only delete the QP in dat_ep_free as Sean suggested and leave 
the cm_id cleanup for later as is being done now?
