The code just picks the first rdma device available. To me, this is preferable
than simply disallowing the loopback device from working at all. I personally
use it all the time, so I don't have to figure out what the ip address is of the
system that I'm trying to test on.

Loopback support has always been in the rdma_cm and was intended to work; it
just didn't work very well...
