[PATCH] opensm: Special Case the IPv6 Solicited Node Multicast address to use a single Mcast (WAS: Re: [ofa-general] IPoIB, OFED 1.2.5, and multicast groups.)

And to further answer my question...[*]

This seems to fix the problem for us, however I know that it could be better.
For example it only takes care of partition 0xFFFF, and I think Jason's idea of
having say 16 Mcast Groups and some hash of these into them would be nice.  But
is this on the right track?  Am I missing some other place in the code?

Thanks,
Ira

[*] Again I apologize for the spam but we were in a bit of a panic as we only
have the big system for the weekend and IB was not part of the test...  ;-)
