Are you referring to OpenSM here ?

I'm not familiar with "0x0BB0 other than 0xFFFF" but clearly you mean a
PKey which is different in big and little endian. We probably would
still want to use a full rather than limited PKey. Also, I'm not sure
what the state of OpenSM is relative to using PKeys other than the
default partition (assuming you were referring to OpenSM).
