The benefit is that we don't have to check for iWARP protocol in the

IB should have to pay the cost of FRMR for lkey on RDMA READ, I'm
pretty sure you have to check for iWarp at somepoint..
You mean "should not", yea?
Ok. I'll check for iWARP. But don't tell me to remove the transport-specific hacks in this series when I post it! ;)
FYI, in the Windows NDKPI (verbs-like kernel provider interface), there
is a device attribute defined as follows:
<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh439851(v=vs.85).aspx>
NDK_ADAPTER_FLAG_RDMA_READ_SINK_NOT_REQUIRED 0x00000002
Set if the provider does not require special access rights on the sink
buffer for an RDMA read request. When this flag is set, the consumer is
not required to use the NDK_MR_FLAG_RDMA_READ_SINK or
NDK_OP_FLAG_RDMA_READ_SINK flags when it registers sink buffers for
RDMA read requests. The consumer can also use logical address mappings
directly (with a token obtained with the
NDK_FN_GET_PRIVILEGED_MEMORY_REGION_TOKEN function) as RDMA read sink
buffers. This is similar to access to local buffers for RDMA write,
send, and receive operations.
