Right. Probably it should go into stable as well.
The IP address passed to rds_bind() should be vetted by the
transport's ->laddr_check() for a previously bound transport.
This needs to be done to avoid cases where, for example,
the application has asked for an IB transport,
but the IP address passed to bind is only usable on
ethernet interfaces.
