The CM is involved in using UD QPs through the use of SIDR, and it also requires
path record lookups, which is provided by the rdma_cm.

I think this will result in duplicating functionality.  The rdma_cm provides
handling for device removal, event reporting, path record lookup, and mapping of
IP addresses.  UD QP users will want part, if not all, of these features.
