Yes, it is ugly but that would be the tradeoff against manual
configuration.

In terms of "all multicast groups", this would be "all multicast groups"
for the PKeys configured on this port. In the SA GetTable, the PKey
could be wildcarded and the SA would only return those groups for PKeys
which are configured for the port. In any case, as this could change
over time, either the multicast group traps need monitoring or this
needs to be polled.

In terms of IPoIB GID format, this would check for the IPv4 or IPv6
signature depending on the IP interface type.
