Grepping for attr_id in drivers/infiniband/ shows that:
1) in_mad->attr_id is set to IB_SMP_ATTR_NODE_INFO (network order)
2) mad->mad_hdr.attr_id is compared with IB_SMP_ATTR_PORT_INFO (network order)
3) *->mad_hdr.attr_id is set to big-endian value

All this suggests that struct ib_mad_hdr::attr_id should be __be16 instead of
u16. So, if attr_id is really something big-endian (infiniband people should
know), convert it. If not (unlikely) all those cpu_to_be16() and htons() are
bogus.

If anyone else has started to look at these, please let me know. Otherwise, I will start trying to eliminate them.
