[ofw] Patch for librdmacm incl. RSockets functionality

Hello Stan,

The Rsockets binaries consist of just three files which I would suggest
to install
in the following directories:

1) librdmacm.dll => %WINDIR%\System32 (same location as it used to be)
2) rsinstall.exe => %ProgramFiles%\OFED\Drivers\net (like ndinstall.exe)
3) rstream.exe   => %ProgramFiles%\OFED (like ibping.exe or similar)

To register the librdmacm.dll as a new Winsock provider, an
   rsinstall.exe -i
has to be performed (with administrative privileges).
The default filename and path of the provider is hard-coded as
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\librdmacm.dll, but can be modified by optionally
append the desired path\filename to the -i cmdline option:
   rsinstall.exe -i <path>\<filename>

Perhaps the RSocket provider installation could be offered as an
optional feature
already during the OFED installation process(?).

You can find some brief documentation in the file
ulp/librdmacm/RSocket.txt.
Futhermore the rstream sources at ulp/librdmacm/examples/rstream should
demonstrate
how to use RSockets at application level.

Please let me know if you have more questions or need further
information...

Thanks,
Hubert
