+Description:
+		The optional "hw_counters" subdirectory can be under either the
+		parent device or the port subdirectories or both. If present,
+		there are a list of counters provided by the hardware. They may
+		match some of the counters in the counters directory, but they
+		often include many other counters. In addition to the various
+		counters, there will be a file named "lifespan" that configures
+		how frequently the core should update the counters when they are
+		being accessed (counters are not updated if they are not being
+		accessed). The lifespan is in milliseconds and defaults to 10
+		unless set to something else by the driver. Users may echo a
+		value between 0-10000 to the lifespan file to set the length
+		of time between updates in milliseconds.

+Description:
+		The sysfs iov directory is used to manage and examine the port
+		P_Key and guid paravirtualization. This directory is added only
+		for the master -- slaves do not have it.
+
+		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).
+
+		The "pkeys" and "gids" subdirectories contain one file for each
+		entry in the port's P_Key or GID table respectively. For
+		example, ports/1/pkeys/10 contains the value at index 10 in port
+		1's P_Key table.
+
+		gids/<n>:		(RO) The physical port gids n = 0..127
+
+		admin_guids/<n>:	(RW) Allows examining or changing the
+					administrative state of a given GUID
+					n = 0..127
+
+		pkeys/<n>:		(RO) Displays the contents of the physical
+					key table n = 0..126
+
+		mcgs/:			(RO) Muticast group table
+
+		<m>/gid_idx/0:		(RO) Display the GID mapping m = 1..2
+
+		<m>/pkey_idx/<n>:	(RW) Writable except for RoCE pkeys.
+					m = 1..2, n = 0..126
+
+					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.

 SYSFS FILES
 
-  For each InfiniBand device, the InfiniBand drivers create the
-  following files under /sys/class/infiniband/<device name>:
-
-    node_type      - Node type (CA, switch or router)
-    node_guid      - Node GUID
-    sys_image_guid - System image GUID
-
-  In addition, there is a "ports" subdirectory, with one subdirectory
-  for each port.  For example, if mthca0 is a 2-port HCA, there will
-  be two directories:
-
-    /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/ports/1
-    /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/ports/2
-
-  (A switch will only have a single "0" subdirectory for switch port
-  0; no subdirectory is created for normal switch ports)
-
-  In each port subdirectory, the following files are created:
-
-    cap_mask       - Port capability mask
-    lid            - Port LID
-    lid_mask_count - Port LID mask count
-    rate           - Port data rate (active width * active speed)
-    sm_lid         - Subnet manager LID for port's subnet
-    sm_sl          - Subnet manager SL for port's subnet
-    state          - Port state (DOWN, INIT, ARMED, ACTIVE or ACTIVE_DEFER)
-    phys_state     - Port physical state (Sleep, Polling, LinkUp, etc)
-
-  There is also a "counters" subdirectory, with files
-
-    VL15_dropped
-    excessive_buffer_overrun_errors
-    link_downed
-    link_error_recovery
-    local_link_integrity_errors
-    port_rcv_constraint_errors
-    port_rcv_data
-    port_rcv_errors
-    port_rcv_packets
-    port_rcv_remote_physical_errors
-    port_rcv_switch_relay_errors
-    port_xmit_constraint_errors
-    port_xmit_data
-    port_xmit_discards
-    port_xmit_packets
-    symbol_error
-
-  Each of these files contains the corresponding value from the port's
-  Performance Management PortCounters attribute, as described in
-  section 16.1.3.5 of the InfiniBand Architecture Specification.
-
-  The "pkeys" and "gids" subdirectories contain one file for each
-  entry in the port's P_Key or GID table respectively.  For example,
-  ports/1/pkeys/10 contains the value at index 10 in port 1's P_Key
-  table.
-
-  There is an optional "hw_counters" subdirectory that may be under either
-  the parent device or the port subdirectories or both.  If present,
-  there are a list of counters provided by the hardware.  They may match
-  some of the counters in the counters directory, but they often include
-  many other counters.  In addition to the various counters, there will
-  be a file named "lifespan" that configures how frequently the core
-  should update the counters when they are being accessed (counters are
-  not updated if they are not being accessed).  The lifespan is in milli-
-  seconds and defaults to 10 unless set to something else by the driver.
-  Users may echo a value between 0 - 10000 to the lifespan file to set
-  the length of time between updates in milliseconds.
-
-MTHCA
-
-  The Mellanox HCA driver also creates the files:
-
-    hw_rev   - Hardware revision number
-    fw_ver   - Firmware version
-    hca_type - HCA type: "MT23108", "MT25208 (MT23108 compat mode)",
-               or "MT25208"
-
-HFI1
-
-  The hfi1 driver also creates these additional files:
-
-   hw_rev - hardware revision
-   board_id - manufacturing board id
-   tempsense - thermal sense information
-   serial - board serial number
-   nfreectxts - number of free user contexts
-   nctxts - number of allowed contexts (PSM2)
-   chip_reset - diagnostic (root only)
-   boardversion - board version
-
-   sdma<N>/ - one directory per sdma engine (0 - 15)
-	sdma<N>/cpu_list - read-write, list of cpus for user-process to sdma
-			   engine assignment.
-	sdma<N>/vl - read-only, vl the sdma engine maps to.
-
-	The new interface will give the user control on the affinity settings
-	for the hfi1 device.
-	As an example, to set an sdma engine irq affinity and thread affinity
-	of a user processes to use the sdma engine, which is "near" in terms
-	of NUMA configuration, or physical cpu location, the user will do:
-
-	echo "3" > /proc/irq/<N>/smp_affinity_list
-	echo "4-7" > /sys/devices/.../sdma3/cpu_list
-	cat /sys/devices/.../sdma3/vl
-	0
-	echo "8" > /proc/irq/<M>/smp_affinity_list
-	echo "9-12" > /sys/devices/.../sdma4/cpu_list
-	cat /sys/devices/.../sdma4/vl
-	1
-
-	to make sure that when a process runs on cpus 4,5,6, or 7,
-	and uses vl=0, then sdma engine 3 is selected by the driver,
-	and also the interrupt of the sdma engine 3 is steered to cpu 3.
-	Similarly, when a process runs on cpus 9,10,11, or 12 and sets vl=1,
-	then engine 4 will be selected and the irq of the sdma engine 4 is
-	steered to cpu 8.
-	This assumes that in the above N is the irq number of "sdma3",
-	and M is irq number of "sdma4" in the /proc/interrupts file.
