Possibly:

	cap = max(3 * lnk->lgr->max_send_wr, lnk->lgr->max_recv_wr);
	qp_attr.cap.max_send_wr = cap;
	qp_attr.cap.max_recv_wr = cap

to avoid assumption on `max_send_wr`, `max_recv_wr` relative values.  

Can you explain a little more. I'm happy to do the change, but I would
prefer to understand why is keeping qp_attr.cap.max_send_wr ==
qp_attr.cap.max_recv_wr better? But if you tell: "Just trust me!" I will.

Due to a little accident we ended up having a private conversation
on this, which I'm going to sum up quickly.

Paolo stated that he has no strong preference and that I should at
least add a comment, which I will do for v4. 

Unfortunately I don't quite understand why qp_attr.cap.max_send_wr is 3
times the number of send WR buffers we allocate. My understanding
is that qp_attr.cap.max_send_wr is about the number of send WQEs.
I assume that qp_attr.cap.max_send_wr == qp_attr.cap.max_recv_wr
is not something we would want to preserve.
