RC5 @ http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/WinOF/v2.0_rc5/

RC5 built from gen1\branches\WOF2-0\ svn.1748

In WinOF 2.0 the ABI changed and thus all user-mode applications not included in the WinOF 2.0
release, need to recompile.

There are changes in the API,
  user-mode:
    ib_cm_listen() in ib_al.h changed.

  kernel mode: (ibal <--> hca)
    ci_open_ca(),
    ci_create_{cq, qp, spl_qp, srq} all changed.

RC5 changes:

[ipoib] Fix using lists on ipoib without locks
[ipoib] Fix two races where ipoib_port_up was called twice.
[ipoib] Remove dead code - ipoib_port_flush_endpts

       CustomActions.vbs now uses 'devman install' for ibiou.sys instead of 'update'
