IP port numbers provided are ignored by the RDMA subsytem when doing
multicast joins. Thus no need to do SIDRs with RDMA multicast.
Some middleware solutions (like LLM by IBM and Confinity) are creating
their own custom MGID because of this problem. The custom MGID will then
contain the port number.
On the subject of this patch: There is a usecase for Multicast with
IBV_QPT_RAW_PACKET too. A multicast join is required to redirect traffic
for a multicast group to the raw socket.
