I'm not following you at all now. You said:

This is actually something of a mandatory notion to implement the
full generality of the IB CM protocol which allows the CM REP to
contain a port GUID of another port on the same node (multi-port
APM is an IB feature). So you never know what port the accept()
result will get bound to.

The REP does not contain a port GUID, so what exactly were you trying to say
here?
