The mlx5 ethernet driver has run in RO mode for a long time, and it
operates in basically the same way as RDMA. The issues with Haswell
have been worked out there already.

The only open question is if the ULPs have errors in their
implementation, which I don't think we can find out until we apply
this series and people start running their tests aggressively.
