In terms of the change to net/ip.h in linux-2.6.9-ipoib-multicast.diff,
I'm curious as to why the mapping doesn't match the MGID layout (and
where that conversion is done). Also, why is there a placeholder for the
multicast QPN here ? The endian also looks a little odd to me as well.

I will take more of a look here when I get a chance in the not too
distant future.
