Sure, but the oddness is that rdma_device_access_flags exists at all,
not the wrapper. The wrapper is what we want the API to look like,
I don't necessarily agree. The API we'd want is a single API at all
the call sites to all types of MRs. We have different QP types, and
still we don't have an allocation API for each and every one.
I honestly don't see why we have that for MRs.
If we can converge to a single API for MR allocation we can just get it
right once.
if we could trivially change the WR format as well then
rdma_device_access_flags wouldn't even exist at all.
I have taken some time to truly think about that following Christoph's
comments to my indirect registration patches. This is one of the things
I'm looking at.
