I'm not sure why IB_ATTR_LAST is even there (similarly for
IB_SA_ATTR_LAST); maybe a historical vestige at this point but due to
backward compatibility (who knows if it's used) should remain.

It's a poor name given vendor SM attribute IDs.

I didn't think it was safe to have IB_ATTR_LAST increase from 0x21 to
0xff91 because of this so I thought it best to add it as I did and treat
this new attribute ID as an exception if needed which it isn't currently.
