Lior proposed it in original patch, but I didn't like it. It caused to
mix of various QP types and maze of "if () else ()" that are not applicable
one to another.

The huge _create_user_qp() is the reason why create_dci() is not small,
we simply had hard time to understand if specific HW bit is needed or
not in DCI flow.

My goal is to have small per-QP type specific functions that calls
to simple functions for very narrow scope.

Something like that:
static int create_dci(...)
{
...
configure_send_cq(..)
configure_recv_sq(..)
configure_srq(...)
...
}

static int create_user_qp(...)
{
...
configure_send_cq(..)
configure_recv_sq(..)
configure_srq(...)
...
}


Thanks
