Mellanox ConnectX MT25418, two ports, each connected to a separate
IB fabric - ib0 and ib1 have distinct IP subnets, each connected
to a separate Lustre router.

dmesg:

Lustre: Listener bound to ib0:xxx.xxx.182.130:987:mlx4_0

Why don't I also get "Listener bound to ib1:xxx.xxx.182.194:987:mlx4_0"?
