If present, there are a list of counters provided by the hardware. They may match some of the counters in the counters directory, but they often include many other counters. In addition to the various counters, there will be a file named "lifespan" that configures how frequently the core should update the counters when they are being accessed (counters are not updated if they are not being accessed). The lifespan is in milliseconds and defaults to 10 unless set to something else by the driver. Users may echo a value between 0-10000 to the lifespan file to set the length of time between updates in milliseconds.

This directory is added only for the master -- slaves do not have it.

	Under iov/ports, the administrator may examine the gid and P_Key
	tables as they are present in the device (and as are seen in the
	"network view" presented to the SM).

	The "pkeys" and "gids" subdirectories contain one file for each
	entry in the port's P_Key or GID table respectively. For
	example, ports/1/pkeys/10 contains the value at index 10 in port
	1's P_Key table.

	======================= ==========================================
	gids/<n>:		(RO) The physical port gids n = 0..127

	admin_guids/<n>:	(RW) Allows examining or changing the
				administrative state of a given GUID
				n = 0..127

	pkeys/<n>:		(RO) Displays the contents of the physical
				key table n = 0..126

	mcgs/:			(RO) Multicast group table

	<m>/gid_idx/0:		(RO) Display the GID mapping m = 1..2

	<m>/pkey_idx/<n>:	(RW) Writable except for RoCE pkeys.
				m = 1..2, n = 0..126

				Under the iov/<pci slot number>
				directories, the admin may map the index
				numbers in the physical tables (as under
				iov/ports) to the paravirtualized index
				numbers that guests see.

				For example, if the administrator, for
				port 1 on guest 2 maps physical pkey
				index 10 to virtual index 1, then that
				guest, whenever it uses its pkey index
				1, will actually be using the real pkey
				index 10.

By default, no VFs are enabled for QP0 operation.

	smi_enabled:	  (RO) Indicates whether smi is currently enabled
			       for the indicated VF/port

	enable_smi_admin: (RW) Used by the admin to request that smi

	to make sure that when a process runs on cpus 4,5,6, or 7, and
	uses vl=0, then sdma engine 3 is selected by the driver, and
	also the interrupt of the sdma engine 3 is steered to cpu 3.
	Similarly, when a process runs on cpus 9,10,11, or 12 and sets
	vl=1, then engine 4 will be selected and the irq of the sdma
	engine 4 is steered to cpu 8.  This assumes that in the above N
	is the irq number of "sdma3", and M is irq number of "sdma4" in
	the /proc/interrupts file.
