Roland, I hope you saw Marcel's reply saying that yes, it could be that only some ports on the same HCA can handle this query, so this does need to be per port. As for that "this" do you prefer this flag to be implemented now as "u8 ext_info" field of the port structure and turned into a bit which is part of 32/64 bits extended_info caps field later when the 2nd such cap pops out?
