I think you should have a useful summary display similar to 'ip a' and
other commands.

guid(s), subnet prefix or default gid for IB, lid/lmc, link state,
speed, mtu, pkeys protocol(s)

A show gid table command makes sense for rocee where it can show the
gid and the IP binding for it, rocee mode, etc..
