This won't work with iwarp qps.  Once the QP is in ERROR state, 
post_send/post_recv can return a synchronous error vs async via the 
cq.   The IB spec explicitly states that posts while in ERROR will be 
completed with "flushed" via the CQ.

>From http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hilland-rddp-verbs-00#section-6.2.4:

    *   At some point in the execution of the flushing operation, the RI
        MUST begin to return an Immediate Error for any attempt to post
        a WR to a Work Queue; prior to that point, any WQEs posted to a
        Work Queue MUST be enqueued and then flushed as described above
        (e.g. The PostSQ is done in Non-Privileged Mode and the Non-
        Privileged Mode portion of the RI has not yet been informed that
        the QP is in the Error state).


Also pending send work requests can be completed with status "flushed", 
and I would think we need to do something similar for send wrs.  We 
definitely can see this with cxgb4 in the presence of unsignaled wrs 
that aren't followed by a signaled wr at the time the QP is moved out of 
RTS.   The driver has no way to know if these pending unsignaled wrs 
completed or not.  So it completes them with "flushed" status.

So how can we do this for iwarp?  It seems like all that might be needed 
is to modify the QP state to idle, retrying until it succeeds:

    If the QP is transitioning to the Error state, or has not yet
    finished flushing the Work Queues, a Modify QP request to transition
    to the IDLE state MUST fail with an Immediate Error. If none of the
    prior conditions are true, a Modify QP to the Idle state MUST take
    the QP to the Idle state. No other state transitions out of Error
    are supported. Any attempt to transition the QP to a state other
    than Idle MUST result in an Immediate Error.
