[ofa-general] [RFC] dropping RDS over TCP support

We've been discussing dropping RDS's support for using TCP as a
transport, and just focusing on RDS as a IB and iWARP-focused protocol.

This would simplify the RDS codebase, allow easier inclusion of more
IB-centric features, and also give RDS an easier path towards mainline
Linux kernel inclusion. Also, the imminent RDS iWARP support will
address non-IB use cases.

Any objections? Anyone using it?

Thanks -- Andy
