My deep hope for this, was that the test 'requires_iboe_addr' or
whatever we call it would have a *really good* kdoc.

List all the ways iboe_addr's work, how they differ from IB addresses,
refer to the specs people should read to understand it, etc.

The patches don't do this, and maybe Michael is the wrong person to
fill that in, but we can get it done..
