Sorry for that if I missed something about properly using existing
in-kernel API. I am not sure the proper API is to use ib_cq_pool_get()
and ib_cq_pool_put()?

If so, these APIs doesn't suit for current smc's usage, I have to
refactor logic (tasklet and wr_id) in smc. I think it is a huge work
and should do it with full discussion.

Thanks,
