OK, thanks for educating me :)

So we have two options here:

1. always make sure not to free anything related to SQEs until we
destroy the QP (hopefully won't bite us again, which is not a good
bet given that the sequence is not trivial).

2. always signal sends for iWARP (yukk...)

I pick poison 1 (for now...)
