Thanks, applied and queued for 2.6.15.

I left out the max_vl_num part of the patch, because it doesn't make
sense to me to fill in the field and then later change the meaning of
the field.

In fact is there any reason to have the max_vl_num field be returned
from the query_port method?  I don't see anything sensible a consumer
can do with the value, and I would think consumers should just be
using service levels rather than worrying about the next hop VL.  So
maybe we should just delete the field entirely.

 - R.
