So to summarize your view on this topic:
* Agreed that user experience should be such that after an RDMA device reset
  everything should continue as before without admin intervention.
* Both for host and target stacks.
* This should not be handled by the driver itself.
* A userspace daemon that listens on udev events should retry the reconnects
  or re-binds using configfs.
