[openib-general] Problem with userspace tree structure

We already have osm, diags, and tvflash which are all independent.
I'll commit directories for libibvers and libmthca, which will be two
more independent projects.  Presumably MPI and possibly DAPL/ITAPI
will start work soon.  That makes at least 6 or 7 independent packages
under userspace, so I'd prefer to get the tree structure correct now.
