But this patch does not return that information to the user. So we have the
drivers reporting a link layer which is no longer exposed userspace.
I think we need to separate the rdma_tech_ib (or cap_tech_ib or whatever) from
reporting the link layer.

We need to expose the "cap_*" functionality to userspace which can then convert
to this interface and stop relying on inferring support based on the link
layer. But that is a separate issue from correctly reporting the link layer.
The link layer should be reported correctly from the drivers "get_link_layer"
call.
