[ofw] API breakage in trunk

[James Yang]

How is the array created? Doesn't it still use old size when the array is created? When will the new size come into picture for old apps? Thx.

ib_port_attr_t is referenced from ib_ca_attr_t as an array of port attribute
structures.  If the size of the ib_port_attr_t is changed, then accesses into
the array are incorrect.
