I'm happy either way, but I will point out that libibverbs and
librdmacm sources contains various things similar to perftest (eg the
pingpong stuff, _bw, etc).

If we were to merge perftest I'd probably aim to consolidate all of
those similar examples/tests/etc under one directory in the source
tree.

I'd cast perftest and related as diagnostic tools to help users
validate verbs hardware is working as expected, so still under the
plumbing umbrella.
