[ofa-general] Compiling SRPT

[Stanley Sufficool]

Do you have any reservations that the WinIB (Mellanox) SRP initiators
will not work with SRPT? 

If there is any doubt, I need to know so that I can fall back to iSCSI
over IPoIB (iSIPIB??? ;) )  . This has lots more overhead, but it's a
sure bet until this can be worked out.
