There has been a long outstanding set of requests to obtain HW specific data 
from libfabric.  A side discussion brought this topic up again, so I'd like to 
at least put it on the agenda as a possible feature for 1.7.  As a point of 
reference, Cisco has implemented a set of provider specific ops to retrieve 
device specific data.  It's fairly simple, and details are here: 

https://github.com/cisco/usnic_tools/blob/master/usnic_devinfo.c

This feature would obviously only apply to providers that are directly 
associated with some sort of HW device.

What I would like to start to collect is a list of what sort of attributes 
would be desirable to report, or what applications or users could make use of.
