If we are going to change this - let's run a test with out setting up 
completion notifications for the rdma ops - and measure interrupt / 
context switch rates / CPU util with and with out them.

I believe I did this in some past life - and it shows significant 
reductions if we do not generate the extra completions. Who knows - 
perhaps they are not needed at all - or maybe things have changed and 
they are now !
