It's not impossible that with the 4 KB write test I hit the limits of
the initiator system (Intel E6750 CPU, 2.66 GHz, two cores). Some
statistics I gathered during the 4 KB write test:
Target: CPU load 0.5, 16500 mlx4-comp-0 interrupts per second, same
number of interrupts processed by each core (8250/s).
Initiator: CPU load 1.0, 32850 mlx4-comp-0 interrupts per second, all
interrupts occurred on the same core.
