Try looking on Mellanox.com for their source code.  I know they use
upstream linux kernels as the base for their switch OS and in their
switch-X driver it should set this flag.

However, this is a point that I don't really care about, but I inherited
(and I know other people care about).  This code has supported switches
via out-of-tree drivers since as long as I know.  That was an early
decision that Roland made.  Removing this code is more than just
removing this code, it is reversing that decision.
