[ofa-general] OFED for Solaris

[Brendan Doyle]

Just some further detail. This is based on OFED 1.3. libibverbs is 
ported, but librdmacm
just has UD and multicast features, RC will be released on the same 
website soon.

The source (Sun mods to OFED code required to make this work are still 
internal to
Sun), but we would like to contribute them to the main OFA base. We are 
currently
moving to OFED 1.5, and also undergoing a Solaris footprint reduction 
exercise, after
which we will have a patch for review. Meantime, binary only support can 
be obtained
from the Sun download website referenced.

Stay tuned

Brendan
