Eli, here are some more issues which should be on the table and you 
might want to look at before posting a new version of the patches (or 
else if you want to handle them down the road of the review process 
that's fine)

- loopback support , Liran commented that this works, does this mean 
only firmware fix is needed?

- below-the-cover-addr-resolve-in-create-AH flow races e.g 
https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1866

- L2 Ethernet integration for rdma-cm based apps, namely at minimum have 
the <src/dst (unicast) mac, vlan ID, vlan Priority, mtu> gang to comply 
with packets sent by the network stack for the same IP route.
