[openib-general] Reloading of partition policy

[Venkatesh Babu]

The document doesn't describe the scenario where nodes are added/deleted 
from the partition table. I raised this issue because it could be an 
important use case. If this can be achieved without restarting the 
OpenSM, it is good.
 
Just one more clarification - sending HUP signal doesn't cause OpenSM 
failover to other standby one right ?
