But it seems redudent, since mcast_add_one will already not add a port that is
not IB, so mcast_event_handler is not callable. Something to do with
rocee/ib switching?
I'm not sure about this either.  This check seems to be necessary only on a
per-port level.  It does seem apparent that one can't go from Eth to IB.  What
happens if you go from IB to Eth on the port?
Hmm... I see a mlx4_change_port_types which ultimately calls
ib_unregister_device, which suggests the port type doesn't change at
runtime (yay)

So maybe these checks really are redundant?
