When talking to Scott yesterday, there also seems a mlx4_ib (infiniband) and
ports can be in one or the other mode. While the core driver has all the pci ids
and potentially can find out which mode the ports are in, it does not cause
either of the network parts to be loaded. Sounds a bit like non-ideal design and
some discussion yesterday (on #ubuntu-devel) sounded like this could become
another request sooner or later...
