um, maybe, but we need to see how it gets used first. How do you get
the to struct ib_port in driver code? Maybe it would make more sense to
add a way for low-level drivers to pass in port attributes that get
added when the port structure gets created?

By the way, any plans to resume working on the upstream driver for
qlogic HCAs? Do you still plan to deprecate ib_ipath and add a new
driver for new devices?
