In fabrics using quality of service and virtual fabrics, the default pkey is 
probably the wrong one to use for network traffic - and may not work at all. 
Remember, the real default pkey is 0x7fff, not 0xffff - and 0x7fff only 
guarantees communications with the SM not with other nodes.

It is certainly required for any fabric that does not permit the use of 0xffff 
as a pkey for ipoib traffic.

So what's wrong with using the default pkey? It is a valid and I don't
see why we should ignore it.

I don't think this is required.

I agree that the broadcast MGID is not updated. But it seems to me
that all that's needed is to update priv->dev->broadcast with the
updated pkey at ipoib_open(). The rest is already taken care of since
pkey change events are handled by IPoIB.
