Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to do this (someone should
implement this as part of the rdma services!).
One way you can do it is to get all the IP addresses from each interface
via SIOCGIFCONF and friends, and then attempt to rdma_bind() to each
address/port 0. If it succeeds, then that interface supports rdma.
OpenMPI does this...
