I appreciate your carefulness! But I do not really see how such a
detection would work and be maintained over time. What exactly is the
scope of such a tooling? Should it be limited to RDMA drivers? Should we
protect from stray writes in general?

Also to make it clear. Are you going to nak the proposed solution if
there is no such tooling available?
