"cifsrdma.o" is a really confusing choice of names. SMB Direct is only
possible when the negotiated SMB dialect is SMB3. "CIFS" historically
means a dialect of SMB1, which many of us would like to see be in
a separate, and therefore omittable, module. Please use a name
more indicative of the function, perhaps "smbdirect.o".
