This looks like a reasonable approach to me, although of course the SM

What about the problem of multiple HCA's of the same type on a single host?
Won't all of them get the identical node description?
Mike, can you add something to handle this case?

Mike, I agree that doing something for the upstream is better than doing
nothing, but I would still like to see the multiple-HCA case handled. I think
this can be done by adding a query to the low-level driver to distinguish between
HCAs).
