[ofa-general] [PATCH] allow explicit HCA selection by functions from libibmad

[Max Matveev]

I'm writing a data collection agent for PCP (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp)
which needs to pull performance counters and port information from the
mulitple HCAs and/or switches on a subnet. What's more, a single host
could be connected to multiple disjoined fabrics so the choice of HCA
port to send MAD rpcs on becomes important.

I could write my own library for sending MADs but there is one already
which does 90% of what I need, I just need to be add a few extra entry
points. The attached patch against ~sashak/management.git does that
for me.
