[ofa-general] [PATCH 0/3] clean up "__get_mgrp_by_mgid" and add option --consolodate_ipv6_snm_req

The following 3 patches are a much cleaner implementation of what I sent to the
list on Friday.

The first 2 patches are just code clean up and I feel should be applied.  The
3rd adds the option --consolodate_ipv6_snm_req which causes all IPv6 Solicited
Node Multicast requests to be grouped into one MCast group per partition.

Hal has already raised concerns over the MTU and rate differences which might
cause problems with this approach.  I would also like to make an option to
create multiple groups via some sort of hash function.  But for now this is a
clean patch which works for a homogenious network.

Thanks,
Ira
