Say I am with you on the argument that the host side implementation need 
not be dependent on a specific SA implementation. However, for 
validation purposes it should be testable with some SA...

But even with that, the host side architecture implemented by your 
patches to IPoIB and the RDMA CM is --different-- from the one proposed 
in the RFC.

Specifically the point I see we need to have a debate is your approach 
of --not-- using the Service ID to derive QoS (ie FL/TC and SL)

I find it more constructive to have a discussion based on a short host 
side architecture description that covers at least QoS for IPoIB and 
RDMA CM based ULPs, rather then based on series of patches.

Or.
