Agreed, if Solaris is going to emulate the Linux umad dev FD it should
be done properly. The kernel overrides some bits and returns the TRID
it actually put on the wire after the MAD is sent.

Linux is already doing this to add per-process uniqueness, per-guest
SRIOV uniqueness should use the same mechanism.

Thus, this masking is either redundant, or hiding a kernel bug..
