At least on mlx5 ipoib and netdev ip o ethernet performance are
basically the same. The way to get good performance is to implement
the IP offloads.

As I've said before, if OPA cares about good ipoib performance then
the hfi driver needs to implement the rdma_netdev interface for ipoib
as well as for opa_vnic.

But, increasing the allowed MTU is a reasonablish idea too..
