The intent of the module is only to deal with IB.  Although, it seems generic 
enough that it could return hardware addresses for anything.  I just don't know 
if there's a need for this functionality outside of IB.

If it requires global routing of IB, then I think that we should defer it until 
global routing is available.  At least this was my original thinking.
