The ibtool version of this switches the starting LID with the
connected switch in this case.. Having that general functionality
means you can easially write a traceroute routine with this common
code.

Note, doing tricks like this with the DR path screws up the
localPortNum value, so if you ever read Port/NodeInfo using a path
that has been manipulated like this it needs a fixup step.

Also, there is a bug, you can't DLID route to the local HCA and then
use that as a source of a DR path, even though intuitively that should
work.
