[openib-general] ANNOUNCE: mstflint update

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Hi!
I have updated mstflint tool with code from mellanox MFT 1.0.1 package.
mstflint is a stand-alone firmware burning tool for Mellanox manufactured HCA
cards. Some success has been reported with cards from Topspin/Cisco.
See the README file under src/userspace/mstflint for more info.

Changes:
* bug fixes
* more flash types supported
* new flag -skip_is to allow safe firmware updates even if
  new firmware includes initial sector update (by updating
  all firmware except the IS)
* portability cleanups: use stdio instead of low level file descriptor
  operations

This code has been tested on x86 and x86_64, on PCI-X and PCI-Express cards.
I'd appreciate feedback and testing on other platforms.

You can help by testing this tool even if you dont have IB cards, or if you
dont want to burn firmware, as described below.

Thanks,
MST
