This is based on user feedback from Doug Ledford at RedHat:
Events that occur on an rdma_cm_id are reported to userspace through an
event channel. Connection request events are reported on the event
channel associated with the listen. When the connection is accepted, a
new rdma_cm_id is created and automatically uses the listen event
channel. This is suboptimal where the user only wants listen events on
that channel.
Additionally, it may be desirable to have events related to connection
establishment use a different event channel than those related to
already established connections.
Allow the user to migrate an rdma_cm_id between event channels. All
pending events associated with the rdma_cm_id are moved to the new event
channel.

Extend rdma_cm to support multicast communication. Multicast support
is added to the existing RDMA_PS_UDP port space, as well as a new
RDMA_PS_IPOIB port space. The latter port space allows joining the
multicast groups used by IPoIB, which enables offloading IPoIB traffic
to a separate QP. The port space determines the signature used in the
MGID when joining the group. The newly added RDMA_PS_IPOIB also
allows for unicast operations, similar to RDMA_PS_UDP.
Supporting the RDMA_PS_IPOIB requires changing how UD QPs are initialized,
since we can no longer assume that the qkey is constant. This requires
saving the Q_Key to use when attaching to a device, so that it is
available when creating the QP. The Q_Key information is exported to
the user through the existing rdma_init_qp_attr() interface.
Multicast support is also exported to userspace through the rdma_ucm.
