OK, I guess that makes sense (although how to interpret the
LocalPortNumber of the attribute when it is contained in the SA record
seems slightly unclear).

It seems that if I want to get a list of (say) all the HCA port 2s in
the network, I have to do a get table query of the SA PortInfoRecord
with component mask set so that I get ports with LocalPortNumber 2,
and then filter out switch ports (since the port number field in the
RID is not defined for HCA ports).  Do you think this is really what
was intended?
