Does the implementation allow this?  Right now PDs, CQs, etc are allocated per
device, not per port.  I'm not immediately concerned about QP failover.
However, I believe there needs to be some level of coordination between the
Infiniband side of the CM and the Ethernet side of the CM, since QPs are
associated with CA GUIDs.  I'm just trying to understand the impact of this
coordination.
