I was thinking that the user won't explicitly say which key it registers

Meaning, the registration code will do:
Please don't..
if (access | (IB_ACCESS_REMOTE_READ | IB_ACCESS_REMOTE_WRITE)
register rkey...
else
register lkey...
Will that work with iWARP? or will this break because
iWARP needs REMOTE_WRITE for lkeys?
Right, it will break.
Access flags are only weakly related to lkey/rkey.
It needs to be explicit. We have spots in the API that take lkeys and
other spots the take rkeys - the caller must always know the intended
use of the key it is requesting, there is no reason not to describe
that explicitly.
OK, keep it explicit. got it.
