+OpenSM Compatibility
+--------------------
+Note that OpenSM version 3.2.1 and earlier used a value of 1
+in host byte order for the default SM_Key, so there is a
+compatibility issue with these earlier versions of OpenSM
+when the 3.2.2 or later version is running on a little endian
+machine. This affects SM handover as well as SA queries (saquery
+tool in infiniband-diags).
