That works too. I am figuring out how to convert ah_handle to ib_ah in rdma_rxe. I think I've mostly got it.
uobj_get_obj_read(type, id, attr) is close to what I need. The problem is that all the code in this area assumes
it is getting called in a user verb API call so there is an attr to pass around. What we need is an API like
rdma_get_obj(ucontext, type, id) since we need a way to get to the user api data structures. Better would be
a pointer from qp to ucontext or ufile that would be set for user QPs. If we did this rxe just use handles from
the core instead of creating its own databases of objects.

Your patch will get us going for now. The above is a longer project that won't fit in your short term schedule.
