That makes sense but I'm not sure it covers everything.  Probably the
most common way to do NVMe/RDMA will be with a single HCA that has
multiple ports, so there's no sensible CPU locality.  On the other
hand we want to keep both ports to the fabric busy.  Setting different
paths for different queues makes sense, but there may be
single-threaded applications that want a  different policy.

I'm not saying anything very profound, but we have to find the right
balance between too many and too few knobs.
