Quick update on this: tcp seems to work fine, I need to let it run a bit
longer but not expecting any trouble.

RDMA is... complicated.
I was certain an adapter in loopback mode ought to work so I just
bought a cheap card alone, but I couldn't get it to work (ipoib works
but I think that's just the linux tcp stack cheating, I'm getting unable
to resolve route (rdma_resolve_route) errors when trying real rdma
applications...)


OTOH, linux got softiwarp merged in as RDMA_SIW which works perfectly
with my rdma applications, after fixing/working around a couple of bugs
on the server I'm getting hangs that I can't reproduce with debug on
current master so this isn't exactly great, not sure where it goes
wrong :|
At least with debug still enabled I'm not getting any new hang with your
patches, so let's call it ok...?

I'll send a mail to ex-collegues who might care about it (and
investigate a bit more if so), and a more open mail if that falls
short...
