Why does this not have any value?  How are you ensuring that these
requirements are now being met?

thanks,

It was my recommendation to remove these checks, though on closer review I might have
been a bit premature.  For some reason I thought the LNET_*_BIT constants were defined
in terms of LNET_MSG_*, but I see they are not.

In conjunction with this change, the definition of LNET_*_BIT should be changed to be
defined in terms of the LNET_MSG_* constants:

 #define LNET_PUT_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_PUT)
 #define LNET_ACK_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_ACK)
 #define LNET_GET_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_GET)
 #define LNET_REPLY_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_REPLY)

The alternative would be to remove the LNET_*_BIT constants and use BIT(LNET_MSG_*)
directly in the code, since that is easy enough to read compared to (1 << LNET_MSG_*)
everywhere.  There don't seem to be a lot of users, so this wouldn't be a giant patch.

Cheers, Andreas
