Yes, I think so, it will be changed in SIDR phase.

The original code has "cma_set_qkey(id_priv, 0)" call, that in IB case will
execute this switch anyway:
   515         switch (id_priv->id.ps) {
   516         case RDMA_PS_UDP:
   517         case RDMA_PS_IB:
   518                 id_priv->qkey = RDMA_UDP_QKEY;

The difference is that we won't store RDMA_UDP_QKEY in id_priv->qkey,
but I'm unsure that this is right.
