Thanks!

This patch is important to us because Cisco's usNIC libfabric support is actual UDP under the covers, hence, if you want ordering (and you really do when you use the tag-matching interface; it doesn't make sense, otherwise), then you need to ask for it.

Other libfabric interfaces that provide the tag-matching support (e.g., PSM) are inherently ordered already, so even if you didn't ask for it, you got it, and it all worked out ok.
