OK, so if looking on what we are left with on the table, seems that 
sysfs entry on the mlx4_core
level (as we do for the port link type {IB, Eth} or IB port MTU) could 
be fine here, Roland, agree?

Or.

We're talking on the /sys/bus/pci/devices entry for the card, e.g for a 
card sitting
in 06:00.0 this new entry will be under /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0/
