Taking this topic off the bugzilla thread for now.

This really must be part of SM I think.

I think this operation needs to perform set to port attributes, so
doing this from a separate utility would only work with
the most permissive policy which lets everyone get the mkey -
which seems to be what OpenSM is currently using by default,
but not necessarily the best thing for network security.

Right?
