Okay - I found one advantage - fewer changes.  :b

I've started adding RDMA_PS_IB.  But the rdma_cm code uses the port space to
select between UD or RC operation, so additional changes are needed.  (I'm doing
them now rather than deferring them, since it affects the user to kernel
interface.)  Since PS IB is not sufficient, I'm adding the qp_type as a
parameter into rdma_create_id, for that purpose instead.  (This change is only
to the kernel API.)

This should allow for eventual support of UC QPs, for which there is an
outstanding request.
