  Hi Justin, all,

  here are the 2 patches that I have over Fedora 12 dhcp-4.1.1-13 adding support
for DHCP over IB:

  - the 1st patch adds all the IB support.
  - the 2nd patch improves on the xid used over IB (and has been contributed
    by Matthieu Hautreux from CEA).


  NOTE: For the dhcp-client-identifier needed for IB I chose to have the port GUID
        prefixed with the pkey of the interface as follows:

            ff:ff:08:00:38:00:01:37:A8:B1
           |     |                       |
           +-----+-----------------------+
            pkey       port GUID

        This allows to have QoS for DHCP for free.


  This is just a proof of concept, but has been running satisfactorily.

  Feel free to comment...

  Sebastien.
