IB/core: Support accessing SA in virtualized environment
Per the ongoing standardisation process, when virtual HCAs are present in a network, traffic is routed based on a destination GID. In order to access the SA we use the well known SA GID. We also add a GRH required boolean field to the port attributes which is used to report to the verbs consumer whether this port is connected to a virtual network. We use this field to realize whether we need to create an address vector with GRH to access the subnet administrator. We clear the port attributes struct before calling the hardware driver to make sure the default remains that GRH is not required.
