I'm still not sure about what needs to be done. The CMA when running over IB
has a port space that is distinct from the TCP port space. It's easy enough for
the CMA to make up some value, but having that work over all iWarp devices is
more challenging. It's not clear to me how using inet_csk_get_port() helps,
since there isn't an actual socket for IB.
