Sorry for not being responsive.

In addition to already said in parallel thread, this change keeps the
functionality except static node. I'm curious to finally see the difference
between these two allocations and it is very unlilkely we will see any.

For example, this QP can be associated with application that runs on
different node than rdi->dparms.node. Will we see performance degradation?

Thanks
