Solaris has made the decision to separate the management partition from
the data partition.  It uses 0xffff for management and 0x8001 for data
(like IPoIB).  When using Linux on a Sun managed network, I need to
create a child ibd interface in the 0x8001 partition for it to work
properly.

There is some other stuff that I have, but I don't think it is open to
customers (maybe if we get some sorta development NDA going on).

Yeah, I would really like this as well.  For now, just IPoIB interop
would be great.
