Yep, debugging. Will check ni a new patch shortly.

Certainly could be built as a regular dissector. What is the community
preference?

As a plugin people have the option of not loading/building it if they do not
expect to encounter Infiniband. Wireshark is not very modular/configurable in
that way.

We are extending the dissector by adding more decodes, so the next update major
could move it if desired.
