I think what we need to support for now is FRMR as the primary target,

FMR is a *very* bad choice, for several reasons.
If an API can transparently support FMR, then I think it can also
transparently support ib_get_phys_mr as an alternative, they look
pretty similar... ?
Having an API that does FRMR/FMR/PHYS_MR is even worse from the ULP
PoV. If you expose an API that might schedule (PHYS_MR) it limits the
context that the caller is allowed to call in.
I'm 100% against an registration API that *might* schedule.
