AFAIK, you can use an IB HCA from a docker container, but that would
be exclusive. You probably can't share it between containers as you
would do with SR-IOV and virtual functions.
See http://www.slideshare.net/syoyo/docker-infiniband and
https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/682 for accessing GPUs from
containers, which is about the same idea.

Cheers,
