Sean, Roland

Here is the updated patch that Jason and I discussed last week.

rdma_resolve_addr() returns an error when attempting to resolve ipv6
link-local address.  This patch fixes the handling of link-local address.

The patch was tested using rping run as such:

Link-local with scope:
# /usr/bin/rping -c -a <remote-system-link-local>%ib0

Link-local w/out scope: (expect failure)
# /usr/bin/rping -c -a <remote-system-link-local>
rdma_resolve_addr error -1

Own interface link local:
# /usr/bin/rping -c -a <remote-system-link-local>%ib0

Other ipv6 address:
# /usr/bin/rping -c -a 2001:db8:1234::2

(server side started with rping -s -P -v -a ::0)

Tested against ofed build OFED-1.5-20091019-0811 and kernel 2.6.30.
