This field can have one of the values - IBV_LINK_LAYER_UNSPECIFIED,
IBV_LINK_LAYER_INFINIBAND, IBV_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET. It can be used by
applications to know the link layer used by the port, which can be either
Infiniband or Ethernet. The addition of the new field does not change the size
of struct ibv_port_attr due to alignment of the preceding field. Binary
compatibility is not compromised either since new apps with old libraries will
determine the link layer as IB while old applications with new a new library do
not read this field.
