Here is the description of the "-e" parameter from ib_send_lat:

 -e, --events                 sleep on CQ events (default poll)


Which means that completion events are being used (and not async events).

There isn't any limitation and completion events can be used with RDMA 
Read/Write (for the side that get the completions, which is the requestor).
