[Ofa_boardplus] OFA Repo and Maintainer List cleanup

[Coulter, Susan K]

Any idea who actually maintains ibutils ?

Would love to remove this entire page.

libvmw_pvrdma is already part of rdma-core these days

libscif is a 'verbs provider' and is incompatible with rdma-core, so
it is basically useless for OFA. Recommend to remove it too.

That leaves only two things.. DAPL is basically a dead project
superceeded by libfabric. It will stop being relavent in two years I
suspect.

The same excercies should be done on the windows side. AFAIK 'OFED for
Windows' and related is completely dead and should be removed too.

  Folks,
  This has been a long time coming … we need to remove old, obsolete
  cruft from the OFA “repo”.
  Please review the attached document - it has 2 sections.
  1.  A list of the directories available from the "OpenFabrics Software”
  page.
  That page is a quick link from the OFA home page, so easy to get to and
  therefore prone to confuse.
  I am recommending all but 3 of those directories should be removed.
  If we can find a better place for the 3 that seem current - that would
  be great.
  ( since there is no “OpenFabrics Software” - and that whole page needs
  a major upgrade )
  2.  A list of Maintainers.
  We should either review and insure correctness of this list - or remove
  it entirely.
  Any feedback is appreciated.
  Thanx.
