[Qemu-devel] [PULL 12/14] block/gluster: deprecate rdma support

[Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>]

From: Prasanna Kumar Kalever <prasanna.kalever@redhat.com>

gluster volfile server fetch happens through unix and/or tcp, it doesn't
support volfile fetch over rdma. The rdma code may actually mislead,
so to make sure things do not break, for now we fallback to tcp when requested
for rdma, with a warning.

If you are wondering how this worked all these days, its the gluster libgfapi
code which handles anything other than unix transport as socket/tcp, sad but
true.

Also gluster doesn't support ipv6 addresses, removing the ipv6 related
comments/docs section

[Jeff: Minor grammatical fixes in comments and commit message, per
review comments]
