I seem to recall that there were problems with IPoIB when partial membership pkeys are used.
There are some issues in the overall solution, since ARPs sent over the 
broadcast group reach
also nodes with partial membership their HCA generated pkey violation 
errors which is a bit annoying,
the IBTA has been dealing with this for a while, not sure where it stands.

But, all in all, the approach taken by IPoIB is to always use the full 
form of a pkey e.g 0x8001
and not 0x0001 when dealing with the core helper functions and within 
ipoib internally.

Or.
