It's there since ~3.17 I think...

ULPs need a drain functionality, so ib_drain_qp() is the way to go...

How about we add a drain_qp() callout and have:

	if (qp->device->drain_qp) {
		qp->device->drain_qp();
		return;
	}

	IB drain qp logic...

This way iWARP devices can have their own magic on how to implement this
functionality.

Thoughts?
