invalidate operations are also valid for memory windows, which we will
probably add support for. And a userspace application could easily be
talking to a kernel driver on the other end, so send w/invalidate etc
also makes sense in that case.
I did leave out all the fast register through a send queue support, of course.

Correct, but it is an iWARP operation.
