Sean, as suggested in the past (eg over the QoS discussion) 
rdma_set_option can serve from more purposes similarly to setsockopt, 
and I guess that down the road as the RDMA stack would get enhanced by 
more features adding these rdma_set/get_opt calls would make sense. So 
(Steve) in that respect, I don't see rdma_set_opt as a mechanism to 
report rare events.

As I said please let me know your preference so I can work on a patch.

Or.
