I have no idea. This is just what's currently in the code. I can change this portion of the code if we want to use #ifdef's.

There are already shared types defined between linux and windows that opensm uses. For the most part, there's no technical reason why windows can't use 99% of the linux ib_types.h as is. My goal is to be able to take the file and drop it into the windows build tree without needing changes.
Btw, as background I tried to pull in the latest ibmad and ibdiags into windows. The build broke because of new defines that had been added to ib_types.h. Eventually we should be able to drop opensm directly into the windows build as well.
