Yes - I understand that.  What I don't understand is *why* a path record for
RDMAoE would specify a hop count > 1 to begin with.  That doesn't make sense,
and a can't imagine that an RDMAoE specification would require a hop count > 1
for the local subnet case.  The RDMAoE checks need to be more explicit.
