[ofa-general] iWARP issues

I'm more concerned about IB, but would like the rdma cm interface usable 
by iWarp as well.  The last request I had was to make the timeout 
smaller, not larger.  (With the MRA patch that recently went in, I don't 
think we'll need to support longer timeouts in IB.)

At least on linux, it appears that a user can control the number of SYN 
retries using a socket option.  I don't see anything that allows them to 
control the timeout however.
