First, qp->comp.psn is a 24 bit unsigned quantity as is qp->req.psn.
RXE_MAX_UNACKED_PSNS is a reasonably small number e.g. 128 for now.
So qp->comp.psn + RXE_MAX_UNACKED_PSNS which is a 32 bit number never wraps to zero and remains in the
range [RXE_MAX_UNACKED_PSNS, RXE_MAX_UNACKED_PSNS + 2^24 -1]. The upper limit will not wrap back zero unless
RXE_MAX_UNACKED_PSNS is > 2^32 - 2^24 which would be a grossly unreasonable upper limit. You would have long
since run out of memory.
psn_compare(a, b) = (a - b) << 8 and is a signed 32 bit number.
This correctly determines the magnitude and sign of the difference between a and b as long as that difference
is less than 2^23.
