Hi James,

Sorry for the late response, my system was down and I just got it fixed.

My opinion is that the create_qp taking generic parameters is correct, 
only
subsequent calls may need to use transport specific calls/arguments. 
Infact
rdma_create_qp uses the ibv_create_qp (now changed to rdmav_create_qp)
call internally.

PS : What is the opinion on this patchset ?

Thanks,

- KK
