I'm not sure that we do.  A user of the RDMA CM simply must wait until they
receive a connection established event before posting any sends.  This is the
requirement placed on the RDMA CM user today.

The basic problem that this patch solves is if a connection is established, but
the RTU is repeatedly lost, the user will get a failed connection attempt for
what should have been an active connection.  I'm not sure if anyone has hit this
in practice.
