[ofa-general] Loading Infiniband modules for Xen Guests

[wei huang]

Hi,

I think for the prototype implementation in smartio hg, the guest domain
is setup connections to dom0 through kernel socket. Though the ideal case
is using xenbus, xenbus was not quite there when we wrote the prototype.

I believe it is harded coded in the file. You should really need to change
it to take input parameters for easier use.

Thanks.

Wei Huang
