[openib-general] [PATCH] Initial CM implementation

The MAD layer does retries?  Is this new?

Also I'm still confused about how the MAD layer will match CM
responses with requests.  If I'm reading the code correctly, mad.c
will always treat CM MADs as unsolicited and never try to match them
with a send.
