It's making real sockets, using the real networking stack,
using up real IP port/address pairs recognized by the rest
of the real networking stack, and doing RDMA over that
connection.

That's not allowed.

We always said that if these RDMA things are in the tree,
they should use their own IP addresses and that are not
visible to the real Linux networking stack.
