ports/1/pkeys/10 contains the value at index 10 in port 1's P_Key
table.
+ There is an optional "hw_counters" subdirectory that may be under either
+ the parent device or the port subdirectories or both. If present,
+ there are a list of counters provided by the hardware. They may match
+ some of the counters in the counters directory, but they often include
+ many other counters. In addition to the various counters, there will
+ be a file named "lifespan" that configures how frequently the core
+ should update the counters when they are being accessed (counters are
+ not updated if they are not being accessed). The lifespan is in milli-
+ seconds and defaults to 10 unless set to something else by the driver.
+ Users may echo a value between 0 - 10000 to the lifespan file to set
+ the length of time between updates in milliseconds.
