The prefix was for the libraries and binaries but not the includes.

I thought the proposal was to ditch the prefix totally and just use
/usr/local/bin for binaries, usr/local/lib for libraries, and
/usr/local/include/infiniband for the includes (I am assuming that the
subdirectories will be maintained under that for opensm, vendor, iba,
and complib).

I thought the whole prefix thing was being removed so this shouldn't be
necessary.
