<div>ib_types.h is more akin to what is in libibmad rather than libibumad.</div>

<div>libibumad is currently transparent to the MAD details. It's the MAD library which knows this and that's more a diagnostic library.</div>

<div>Although not a fit IMO, the pragmatic solution is to move ib_types,h into libibumad. I think it is better there than OpenSM which was never quite right either. That can at least start to eliminate the duplications in this area.</div>
