I'm really not all that familiar with ipoib protocol, but if it's being
implemented over an RC connection, then adding an RNR retry seems to make sense
to me.  I believe using UC is better, but if it's over RC, I don't know that we
want to take the hit of tearing down and re-establishing the connection just
because we have a fast sender.  (This is just an opinion based on no fact
whatsoever.)
