There is no negotiation. Device simply sends its qkey to another side
and expects to get this qkey in every packet.

---------------------------------
Queue Key (Q_Key): Enforces access rights for reliable and unreliable
datagram service (RAW datagram service type not included). Administered
by the channel adapter. During communication establishment for datagram
service, nodes exchange Q_Keys for particular queue pairs and a node uses
the value it was passed for a remote QP in all packets it sends to that
remote QP. Likewise, the remote node uses the Q_Key it was provided.
Receipt of a packet with a different Q_Key than the one the node provided
to the remote queue pair means that packet is not valid and thus rejected.
