    Description

      With the mlx5 driver support mostly complete I have been testing on our Power8 nodes the latest 2.8 stack plus some ko2iblnd patches to make it work. With the work from LU-5783 I can now set the peer_credits to 63 and using the patch from LU-7101 set the map_on_demand to 16 pages. The problem is that the Power8 clients can't connect to our servers which have map_on_demand set to 256 pages. The reason is the set test to validate the connection compares the page counts on each side. On Power8 16 pages equals 256 pages on x86 platforms so comparing page count is an invalid test.
