[ofa-general] DM question

Hi all,

Our application, which we are porting to OFED, makes use of Device 
Management to both advertise and discover services on the network.  Our 
application uses the user-level MAD library and is currently able to 
perform DM queries on the subnet.  Unfortunately, in order to advertise 
DM services our application needs to be able to set the 
"isDeviceManagementSupported" bit on our local port's capabilityMask.  I 
don't see a way to do that from userspace in OFED.  This is critical for 
our application since without that bit set nobody else on the fabric 
will be able to use our services.

Perhaps I have overlooked something?  If not, what would the recommended 
way of setting this bit in the capabilityMask be?

Thanks,
TG
