Actually, IIRC, the issue with that opensm version is that it improperly
includes an extra field in the path records which confuses most SRP
targets on the market -- they think the initiator is coming from LID
0xffff, which is illegal. It doesn't matter which SRP initiator version
you use.

We had a fun time tracking that down as well...
