[ofa-general] [PATCH 2/4] ib/sa: add new QoS fields to path record

Thanks.

Given how SRP is structured, I think it's easiest for it to include the service
ID with the PR query.  If that makes sense, I can create a patch for it in a
couple of minutes.  (SRP is way easier for me to follow than iSER.)  I just
can't test SRP.

The only alternative I can think of is for userspace to provide the QoS level
along with the GID, PKey, etc.
