Yes, it is not optimal, but given that every protocol uses a
completely different scheme to interact with netdev, I'm not sure
there is another option but to do them piecemeal?

I'm happy to see this patch much smaller and without the vestigial
half-roce support that the prior version included.

This should be a good starting point for someone to do iWarp, it is
pretty simple since there is no UD component. roce will be much
harder, I think.

Should we inhibit the RDMA uapi on non-init namespaces? At least
that way iWarp/etc won't work at all, instead of leaking through the
container.
