Network header type is mandatory in order to find the GID type and get
the GIDs correctly from the header.
I realize ULPs might have preferred to get the GID itself, but
resolving the GID costs time and most of the time you don't really
need that when you poll a CQ.
This could be refactored later to use wc_flags instead of a new field
when we approach the cache line limit.
