When TCP is supported RDS must have transport notion and hence breaks 
into at least three modules (rds_core, rds_rdma, rds_tcp) where the 
rds_core and rds_tcp are network drivers which are located under 
drivers/net/ (or net) and are under the sword of the netdev community. 
Where if TCP is put a side, RDS can be considered an rdma driver, the 
transport notion may be removed and the code located under 
drivers/infiniband, etc.
