Translating QP ID to a kernel pointer in kernel verbs
should be trivial for almost any implemention I've ever
imagined.

But translating a QP ID to a useful user mode pointer
in user mode verbs is considerably trickier, and
definitely not something you would want to do
automatically even if the application had no
use for this automatic translation.
