This patch series is changing the behavior that the compare data solves. Currently, the ib_cm handles all of the multiplexing for the rdma_cm -- that's the reason for the compare data. This series changes that such that the ib_cm would handle half the multiplexing, with the other half handled by the rdma_cm. We should not insert that sort of split. So, I disagree that this isn't part of this series.

Either do all of the multiplexing in the ib_cm -- without exposing it to inet (add port/pkey filtering if that works) -- or move all of it out.
