[openfabrics-ewg] Test results from QLogic on RC4

[Betsy Zeller]

Here's the results of our initial testing on OFED RC4. Open bugs have
been posted in Openib/bugzilla.

o)  kernel build failed in IB core on SUSE 10 (openib bugzilla bug 68). 
This blocks further testing on SUSE 10.

o)  Install script dependency checking problems (it seems to check some
dependencies correctly, not others.  A bug based on some of these
problems is openib bugzilla bug 71)

o)  IPoIB default configurations don't seem reasonable.  (openib
bugzilla bug 72)

o)  ipath_core does not get installed (or apparently built?  Unclear...)
on RHEL4.  (openib bugzilla bug 73 - now fixed)

o)  Moving on to SLES 10, we still see the -Os flash reading problem
with InfiniPath drivers. (fixed, will be there for RC5 - workaround is
to compile with -03 till then)

o)  InfiniPath can still see a kernel panic when trying to run SDP. 
(fixed - will be in RC5)

o)  Mvapich osu_latency caused a general protection fault leading to a
kernel panic (fixed - will be in RC5)
