I think all the VAPI calls from osm_vendor_XXX.[ch] need to be
removed.  It's not clear to me how close osm_vendor_mlx_ts_anafa.c is
to what we would need.

It's definitely possible on top of the current mthca driver, since
sending and receiving MADs is all that is required.

In any case all this MAD/GSI discussion is going to lead to a change
in the userspace interface (not to mention the requirement of being
32/64 clean) so I wouldn't want to spend too much effort getting
opensm working on the current tree.
