[ofa-general] RE: man pages for the rdma-cm

I updated the man pages in my master branch and pushed the changes out.  Details
below.

not added yet

I reworked the wording here to clarify that the behavior is based on the port
space associated with the cm_id.

I added an rdma_cm man page that gives an overview.  I still need to add
references to this man page from the other API man pages, which I'll do before
pushing into OFED.
