Hi, Haakon

To be honest, I like your original commit that enable DIM for legacy 
ULPs because this can fix this problem once for all and improve the old 
ib_create_cq function.

The idea from Christoph will cause a lot of changes in ULPs. I am not 
very sure if these changes cause risks or not.

Thus, I prefer to your original commit. But I will follow the advice 
from Leon and Jason.
