PQR_ASSOC no longer needs rmid_offset. But QM_EVTSEL still does.

I'll take a look to see if all the SNC detection code can move into
monitor.c. Then rmid_offset could be static in that file. But if that gets
complicated I may leave it alone (with rmid_offset set in core.c and used
in monitor.c).

Peter,

Thanks for testing and review. Did you also test on one of your systems
with a memory-only node? I recall that was an issue with my very first
patch series.
