This is a method that is not supported by the iWARP transport.  ENOSYS
indicates this.  I _think_ this is SOP for the infinband subsystem.

Roland, I think at one time we were talking about changing the Core to
better handle this?  Either with attributes/capabilities that the low
level driver can set, or by set these method ptrs to NULL and the core
should handle it in the wrapper function...


Steve.
