[oi-dev] open-fabrics pkg on OpenIndiana 151a

[Syoyo Fujita]

Hello Alasdair,

I've wrote some patches for open-fabrics component to work with
OI151a(+Illumos)

https://github.com/syoyo/oi-build/tree/ofed-1.5.4.1

As a bonus, I've updated OFED version from 1.5.3 to recent 1.5.4.1(RC2).

I've confirmed it can compile and can create IPS package, but not
confirmed yet it works well on many OpenIndiana/Illumos environment.

I'm happy if you or someone InfiniBand + OpenIndiana people contribute
to testing my components.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately open-fabrics doesn't build on OI (although most of userland-gate does), so you might need to do some work to get it to build. But it should be a good start, and certainly much easier to build it from oi-build than from the old sfw-gate.
