Sigh, I guess so. Can we have the rdma-cm handle this somewhat
automagically, eg only choose devices that do handle loopback when
binding/connecting to 127.0.0.1? Or maybe can we put the handling of
this into the device-driver-specific iwcm methods, to fail
listen/connect requests that are loopback?

But if a device cap flag is what it takes, that's OK I guess.
