The same parameters are also specified when calling rdma_accept().  I think 
these are the values that are used for the connection.  (I need to trace through 
the code to be sure.)  There's no easy way for the passive side to know what was 
requested without exporting the values.

We could drop to the lower of the two values, and let users that really care 
what the values are call ib_query_qp() after the connection has been 
established.  This has the disadvantage that you couldn't just reject the 
connection if the values weren't what you needed.
