Trying to work through this more, having the first node join seems trivial.
Getting additional nodes to join the same group through the rdma_cm is proving
more difficult... The MGID of the group would need to be treated as an IPv6
address, with a join done using that address directly, versus mapping an IPv6
address to an MGID using the ipoib algorithm.
I still believe this is doable, it's just going to require more
thought/discussion to ensure that we get a clean implementation.
