No. If you're running a full IB stack, we provide the usual IB subnet
management facilities, and you can run OpenSM to manage your subnet. If
you're *not*, which is the case I'm concerned with here, it makes no
sense to replicate the byzantine IB management interfaces in order to do
a handful of simple things that aren't even tied to the higher-level IB
protocols.
Is it the stack that is byzantine? Or the interface too it.
What I thinking untimately is there should be something about as
simple as af_packet in the kernel (but at the IB/rdma) layer that
gives you the help you need.
