In terms of CapabilityMaskNotice, what causes/is supposed to cause the
trap/notice to be generated when the capability mask is set (e.g. issm)
? (I know it is the SMA's responsibility but am asking in terms of how
OpenIB is/is to be implemented). I ddidn't see this trap sent when issm
was set. I think we may be better off turning this off at least in the
short term although it is likely only a minor conformance issue.

APM will be supported but isn't right now (either in CM or the driver)
but this won't cause an issue until CM is on.

Is this the reason for the request for additional device IDs ? Are you
envisioning others ?
