I think its a good decision to switch new connections to use the TCP fallback when the
current queue of connections waiting for a SMC handshake is too large.
With this the application is able to accept all incoming connections and they are not
dropped. The only thing that is be different compared to TCP is that the order of the
accepted connections is changed, connections that came in later might reach the user space 
application earlier than connections that still run the SMC hand shake processing. 
But I think that is semantically okay.
