There are current applications/customers who are looking at "'/sys/class/infiniband/<ib_device>/device/" for sysfs attributes like numa_node, local_cpus etc. under the PCI device. i.e. assuming the PCI device is ib device parent. With parent change to auxiliary device, they won't be able find these attributes and potentially resort to default configurations that are sub-optimal. Shiraz
