Okay, so in_hopids are the entries allocated in this port's hop config
space, whereas out_hopids only really bears significance for adapter
ports.  For null ports (in-between two adapter ports on a path),
out_hopids is identical to the in_hopids of the next hop (IIUC).

That probably merits mentioning in struct tb_port's kerneldoc.
