BTW I thought maybe sending a query to the SM LID from another node and use the is sm bit to check whether opensm is running on the subnet is a useful trick. Because I think kernel + hardware will answer that even if user-space opensm is slow of blocked on something. Right? So that will be a slightly different use of the IS_SM bit.
