Dave/Roland/anyone, is there any feedback on this approach?
If there's hesitation to add new address families to socket.h, I could instead
use definitions local to the rdma_cm. This has the potential to result in
conflicts if the rdma_cm is expanded for other address families, though such
conflicts seem unlikely.
