The problem is that CQs are not limited to a specific EP type.
Fi_cq_readfrom() uses
fi_addr_t *src_addr
as the output parameter. Fi_addr_t is uint64_t. There might be a way to make
it work without breaking apps by returning a different pointer value if the
completion is associated with a connected EP.
