The only reason we have these goofy 'thick' APIs like modify_qp is
because people said they needed a very high rate of qp modifications
and could not tolerate the performance downside of a dis-aggregated
API.

I don't think CQ falls into that reasoning, so it should be
dis-aggregated.

Many things in verbs are terrible examples of how to make APIs, we
should not just blindly copy things..
