I've been asking if we can include more meta-information, like the
netdev for rdma-cm and ipoib. Having the hook site in send_mad makes
that seem hard to reach. (maybe not?)

One one hand, it would be nice to launch a new UAPI with broad feature
completeness, on the other hand, if it is a lot of work then go
incremental. That is why I only said I was surprised :)
