+ *
+ *  - umad_port[] accesses are protected by port_lock, the
+ *    ib_umad_port structures are properly reference counted, and
+ *    everything else is purely local to the file being created, so
+ *    races against other open calls are not a problem;
+ *  - the ioctl method does not affect any global state outside of the
+ *    file structure being operated on;
+ *  - the port is added to umad_port[] as the last part of module
+ *    initialization so the open method will either immediately run
+ *    -ENXIO, or all required initialization will be done.
