[openib-general] IB Management Simulator

[Eitan Zahavi]

Hi All,

Mellanox is willing to contribute its newly developed management simulator.
This simulator can be used to validate OpenSM and diagnostic tools that send
and receive SMP and PM
MADs from the fabric. 

The simulator have an interface for clients to attach to a virtual IB node
and send/receive mads to.
OpenSM has a vendor layer implementation that can talk to the simulator.

The software involved is made of two packages: 
IBDM - a generic data model describing the fabric
IBMgtSim - the simulator (an engine for dispatching mads, an SMA and PMA
implementations).

As I'm ready to upload the code into OpenIB I wonder where it should fit in
the tree?
