I disagree with the concept of adding this code into the lower level 
driver.  Posting a receive buffer onto a QP after it gets a receive 
completion is something the ULP can and should do.

SRQ support is optional.  There's no reason why the no-SRQ code in IPoIB 
can't be tested on all HCAs.  It's the SRQ code that requires specific 
hardware.
