It's true that we are dealing with SA pathrecord query in the end. However, the netlink mechanism is more general than SA specific: it's more about communication between the kernel and the user-space with a MAD packet through the netlink. The mechanism could be easily extended to other MAD requests. The SA pathrecord query is just an specific use of this mechanism.
Originally we did use RDMA_NL_SA prefix.
