Receive completion and Reply handling are done by a BOUND
workqueue, meaning they run on only one CPU.
Posting receives is currently done in the send_request path, which
on large systems is typically done on a different CPU than the one
handling Receive completions. This results in movement of
Receive-related cachelines between the sending and receiving CPUs.
More importantly, it means that currently Receives are posted while
the transport's write lock is held, which is unnecessary and costly.
Finally, allocation of Receive buffers is performed on-demand in
the Receive completion handler. This helps guarantee that they are
allocated on the same NUMA node as the CPU that handles Receive
completions.
