Sure, but AFAIK the ibping userspace app (which is required to use it
anyway) has a server mode, so you don't need the kernel module.  And
I'm hard pressed to imagine a situation where the SM could bring a
port up but ibping would show a problem.

Putting some non-standard network server into the kernel just for some
oddball debugging scenario doesn't seem worth it to me.
