Eli,

I see now that your original patch touched the man page but the word
infiniband isn't mentioned:

@@ -1196,6 +1200,12 @@ sent by the VF.
 .BI trust " on|off"

would be good if you enhance this patch to spell something like

configure node GUID for infiniband VFs.

configure port GUID for infiniband VFs.

Or.
