Correct - the code is based on the compliance statements, although the two
seem to match.  From what I could tell, neither of these areas separated the
handling of sending a SMP from receiving one, which is what I tried to have
the code do.

The receive side handling of SMPs is based off the Topspin stack, but was
updated to include switches.
