We should remove that whole block that tries to recover from a 
rdma_create_qp() failure.   I don't believe we would ever hit it. The 
value initially stored in sc_max_sge is from the device attribute 
max_sge returned from ib_query_device() just above the code we're 
talking about.  If rdma_create_qp() fails, it would not be because the 
max_send_sge and max_recv_sge values passed in exceed the device's max...

Like this:

         newxprt->sc_qp = newxprt->sc_cm_id->qp;


Steve.
