Here is where we're at today:

rdma_resolve_addr:
- Source sends a multicast request to destination IP
- Destination performs a path record query
- Destination sends a response with IP to DGID mapping

rdma_resolve_route:
- Source performs a path record query

The current implementation of ACM converts this to:
** Source sends a multicast request to destination IP
** Destination sends a response with IP to DGID mapping
- Path record is constructed from multicast group information

ACM needs to know what the local addresses are, so it can respond to requests
for those addresses.
