I have been corrected: IBSRM (Sun's subnet manager) uses two Pkeys, but
Solaris *should* work with just one pkey.  So, just using 0xffff will
allow a Solaris node to initialize.

The only thing that might hang up Solaris IPoIB is that it requires that
the broadcast group be created external to Solaris -- Solaris won't
create one, so somebody else has to -- whether that be the SM (opensm)
or another node on the fabric (Linux openib).
