Why would you say that? If EFA needs SRD and RDM objects in RDMA they
can create them, it is not a big issue. To my knowledge they haven't
asked for them.

mlx5 has all kinds of wacky objects these days, it is not an issue to
allow HW to innovate however it likes within RDMA, and we are not
limited to purely IBTA defined verbs like objects any longer.

mlx5 already has RDM like objects <shrug>

If you want something concrete then ask for it and we can discuss how
to fit it in.
