I like this idea.

Bear in mind ipath will go way from the tree entirely.

The issue with this is the development effort would need to be incremental to preserve the functionality of both qib and hfi1.

I would like to propose such an incremental approach with everyone's help, perhaps an IBTA object at a time as a follow-on.

For namespace purposes, we pick and alternative to qib_/hfi1_, such as ibt or sib (soft ib).
