I think it's okay adding it to the end of ib_ca_attr_t.  Some other
alternatives:
1. Define a new structure and interface that provides this data.
2. Define separate ib_port_attr_t for kernel and user space.  Add this to the
kernel, but not user space.  Select a different way for exposing this data to
user space application, if it is needed.
