It was my recommendation to remove these checks, though on closer review I might have
been a bit premature.  For some reason I thought the LNET_*_BIT constants were defined
in terms of LNET_MSG_*, but I see they are not.

In conjunction with this change, the definition of LNET_*_BIT should be changed to be
defined in terms of the LNET_MSG_* constants:

 #define LNET_PUT_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_PUT)
 #define LNET_ACK_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_ACK)
 #define LNET_GET_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_GET)
 #define LNET_REPLY_BIT BIT(LNET_MSG_REPLY)

The alternative would be to remove the LNET_*_BIT constants and use BIT(LNET_MSG_*)
directly in the code, since that is easy enough to read compared to (1 << LNET_MSG_*)
everywhere.  There don't seem to be a lot of users, so this wouldn't be a giant patch.

Cheers, Andreas
