[ofw] Adding Performance Counters support for WinOF

[Moshe Haim]

Hi Sean,

Since I'm not very familiar with the internals I'd be happy if you could
answer some additional (and hopefully not very silly :) questions for
me:

1. What is WinMad driver?
2. From what I understand libibmad and libibumad are linux binaries for
some of the functionalities - could you please explain to me what are
the functionalities (high level) of each binary (from functionality
standpoint)? Are they already ported to windows platform?
3. When talking about ib-diags, from what I understood from my manager
(he did the linux version of my product), it's a sort of script-like way
of retrieving relevant information - how would the Windows ib-diags look
like (DLL, Service, script...)?
4. Is there some detailed description of the tasks to be completed for
the ib-diags support, what is completed and what is yet to be done? (I'd
appreciate as much information as possible).
5. Isn't the opensm already ported? Whenever I install WinOF I have the
option to select "opensm service started"?

Thanks,
Moshe.

There's been a WinMad driver and library added to the WinOF stack, along
with a
port of libibumad.  We're still working on integrating the changes to
libibmad
and the ib-diags needed to make them work on Windows back into the main
git
repository.  Once that work is complete, the ib-diags that are available
on
Linux today will also be available on Windows; this includes the
perfquery
utility.

Arlin Davis and myself are completing this work, but would happily take
any
assistance porting the diags or opensm.  :)
