I've merged these 12 patches into the trunk.  I will be adding the new winverbs,
perftest, and libibverbs files tonight and tomorrow.

Fab has reported one potential issue (also raised in the patches) that we should
reach agreement on what, if anything, should be done with changes to ib_wr_t.

I will be creating patches for these as quickly as I can.  We can discuss which
of these changes would be acceptable after feature freeze, based on the actual
changes involved and when they're submitted.
