For this issue, it is easy to resolve the difference and I don't
have a problem implementing the extension as suggested by Roland.

At the same time, I don't want to turn it into if an iWarp device
does not do what an Infiniband device would do then it is a bug.
I didn't take this issue that way as everyone said it with a :-)
I'm probably making it a bigger issue than it is so I will stop now.
