Ok. But what is it possible to do with Infiniband VFs if QP0 is not available ?
EVERYTHING, e.g run IPoIB, iSER, RDS, MPI, etc, etc - except for what
requires QP0, such as running SM or issuing SMPs for
discovery/diagnostics purposes

Mathis,
You cannot use SMP packets on a virtual host (this is a security issue,
VFs are not trusted). Since QP0 (SMP) is not available on VFs,
any tool which attempts to use QP0 (SMPs) will fail.
Thus, OpenSM will not run over a VF, nor will ibnetdiscover,
nor will sminfo (which uses SMP).
