FRWR's have horrible restrictions on the scatterlist. To realize
arbitrary scatterlists requires multiple MRs, and thus multiple SGE
entries.

The warning is for a reader who might be familiar with IB and think
iWarp simply needs to have a MR wrapped around the memory and assume
gaps/etc can be supported through a s/g list, like IB can.
