I have updated the bug.

The only side effects I noted from this is that VDSM does not seem to be able to read/report TX/RX stats IB cards properly.
Also the MAC Address fields in the admin/user portals seem to be of fixed size and the IB card HW address overflows the fields.

Please note in the BZ that this is the only change that is required. It
