Remove RDMA_TRANSPORT_IBOE - it is not a transport.
ROCE uses IBTA transport.

If any code should test for ROCE should invoke a specific helper, e.g., rdma_protocol_iboe().
This is  what you currently call "rdma_tech_iboe" is patch 02/26.

I think that pretty much everybody agrees that rdma_protocol_*() is a better name than rdma_tech_*(), right?
So, let's change this.

The semantics are: "check that a link supports a certain wire protocol, or a set of wire protocols", where 'certain'
refers to the specific helper...
