The server already has to call listen twice.  Once for the rdma_cm and 
once for sockets.  Similarly on the client side, connect must be made 
over rdma_cm or sockets.  I really don't see any impact on the 
application for this approach.

We just end up separating the port space based on networking addresses, 
rather than keeping the problem at the transport level.  If you have an 
alternate approach that will be accepted upstream, feel free to post it.
