It sounds like a two-stage thing, the first stage lets you talk
on the subnet and get to the IB subnet manager, and the second
stage lets you acually speak IP. My understanding, from his
description, is that once the second stage part is complete you
don't need to first stage address information at all.
The reason I suggested the scheme the way that I did was so
that the hh_cache can work fully for IP over IB.
