Hello Benjamin,

Shouldn't the rdma / openibd service be split into multiple services -
one for IPoIB, one for the SRP initiator driver, one for the SRP target
driver, one for the iSER initiator driver, one for the iSER target driver,
one for RDS and one for NFSoRDMA? I think that would allow us to get rid
of the rdma.conf configuration file and also that this would allow systemd
to load those services concurrently that do not depend on each other.
