We don't have a means of migration except in the narrowly scoped sense
of queue pair migration as defined by the IBTA and implemented on some
dual port IB cards.  This narrowly scoped migration even still involves
notification of the app.

Since there's no guarantee that any other port can connect to the same
machine as any port that's going away, it would always be a
disconnect/reconnect sequence in the app to support this, not an under
the covers migration.
