I don't know if I've said this in public, but I've stopped testing
ipoibtools HA as of OFED 1.2 rc2 and Cisco is only going to support
ib-bonding HA for our OFED 1.2 customers, as our testing has revealed
ib-bonding is more robust than ipoibtools.  I know I said this to
Tziporet at Sonoma, and she seemed to agree we could eventually remove
ipoibtools from OFED.
