Now that transports can be loaded in arbitrary order,
it is important for rds_trans_get_preferred() to look
for them in a particular order, instead of walking the list
until it finds a transport that works for a given address.
Now, each transport registers for a specific transport slot,
and these are ordered so that preferred transports come first,
and then if they are not loaded, other transports are queried.

Now that rdma and tcp transports will be modularized,
we need to export a number of functions so they can call them.

RDS supports multiple transports. While this initial submission
only supports Infiniband transport, this abstraction allows others
to be added. We're working on an iWARP transport, and also see
UDP over DCB as another possibility.
This code handles transport registration.
