I don't believe this is true unfortunately. If you have a new
libibverbs and an old kernel, then you will return the value of
en_sqd_async_notify to the consumer but tell the consumer that the
value represents sq_draining.
Fortunately ib_uverbs_query_qp_resp has some reserved slots we can use
for sq_draining. However, this means that an old kernel will always
return 0 for sq_draining. However I'm not sure if we could do better...
