Ah!  I guess that is the reason the PortInfo is querried here instead of just
in "get_port" later?  I was somewhat curious why things were done this way.
That makes a lot more sense.

No.  See below regarding ca/routers.

Well technically yes but I think #1 really is a result of the fix because now
the code is repeated 3 times instead of 2.  I could split it, if you like, but
it seemed like the fix required some code clean up to be "clean".  (Although I
admit that the patch itself is more complex.)

This is past a check for not Switch.  Here is a more complete chunk:

	if (node->type != SWITCH_NODE)
		return 0;

	node->smalid = port->lid;
	node->smalmc = port->lmc;

   /* after we have the sma information find out the real PortInfo for this port */
   if (!smp_query(pi, portid, IB_ATTR_PORT_INFO, node->localport, timeout))
         return -1;
   decode_port_info(pi, port);


So I think for CA's/routers, back to back it should work the same.  Also
the additional query will only be issued if needed.
