The private data area is for the use of whatever client resides above the
Infiniband CM only. There is no assumption about whether that client is
middleware or an application.

An application that interfaces directly with the Infiniband CM always retains
full control of any private data. Applications that interface to middleware are
restricted by the limitations of that middleware layer.
