40 Description:
41                 (RW) When read, reports the current assigned ring pairs for the
42                 queried SLA.
43                 When wrote to, configures the ring pairs associated to a new SLA.
44
45                 The value is a 64-bit bit mask and is written/displayed in hex.
46                 Each bit of this mask represents a single ring pair i.e.,
47                 bit 1 == ring pair id 0; bit 3 == ring pair id 2.
48
49                 Selected ring pairs must to be assigned to a single service,
50                 i.e. the one provided with the srv attribute. The service
51                 assigned to a certain ring pair can be checked by querying
52                 the attribute qat/rp2srv.
53
54                 The maximum number of ring pairs is 4 per SLA.
