It is an interesting feature. If I got this feature correctly, this 
feature permits the user consumes the data out of order when RDMA Write 
and Send operations. But its completiong ordering is still in order.

Any scenario that this feature can be applied and what benefits will be 
got from this feature?

I am just curious about this. Normally the users will consume the data 
in order. In what scenario, the user will consume the data out of order?

Thanks,
Zhu Yanjun
