+1 on adding it to read_port_table_lengths

But this whole thing is starting to get goofy, 3rd add gets the work
to fix it up I guess.

Pull pkey_tbl_len, gid_tbl_len and your new thing into a single struct
and allocate an array of them.

Actually, why not just allocate an array of ib_port_attrs and fill
that? Then you can use it for the mad size too.

Not in your patch, but why does read_port_table_lengths use a kmalloc
for what should be a stack allocation? Yuk.
