    IB/mlx4: Add iov directory in sysfs under the ib device · c1e7e466
    Jack Morgenstein 提交于
    This directory is added only for the master -- slaves do not have it.
    
    The sysfs iov directory is used to manage and examine the port P_Key
    and guid paravirtualization.
    
    Under iov/ports, the administrator may examine the gid and P_Key tables
    as they are present in the device (and as are seen in the "network
    view" presented to the SM).
    
    Under the iov/<pci slot number> directories, the admin may map the
    index numbers in the physical tables (as under iov/ports) to the
    paravirtualized index numbers that guests see.
    
    For example, if the administrator, for port 1 on guest 2 maps physical
    pkey index 10 to virtual index 1, then that guest, whenever it uses
    its pkey index 1, will actually be using the real pkey index 10.
