The following patches bring the winverbs branch up to SVN trunk rev 1400, and
new functionality was added to winverbs:

* Support for reporting asynchronous events (limited by the HCA interface).
  Port of libibverbs ibv_asyncwatch now works.
* Support for UD communication.
  Port of libibverbs ibv_ud_pingpong now works.
* New datatypes to indicate fields stored in network-byte order.

Once the following patches have been applied to the trunk, it will be ready for
merging winverbs, libibverbs, and perftest.

The following items are still to be done, but do not block the acceptance of
these changes into the trunk:

* Mlx4 driver support for winverbs.
  (It basically just needs to respond to the query interface call correctly.)
* Several desired device / port attributes are missing from ib_ca_attr_t
  and ib_port_attr_t. 
* Several async events are not directly reported by the CI.

We probably want to at least add in place holders in the APIs for the missing
attributes and events before freezing the 2.0 release.  Those changes should be
submitted as separate patches.
