This is the first step in openfabrics support.  I've also done
libibverbs, but need to check that.  Let me know if someone else is
working on openfabrics.

Hi Dave,

We already have the netlink bindings under the name 'libnl', but it
probably doesn't install the Python bits. Can you adjust this patch to
improve the existing package?

We also have libibverbs in 'rdma-core'. I haven't tested the
functionality of it, though.

Oops -- thanks!  I'm puzzled how I missed libnl, in particular.  I don't
know whether the Python support is really worth it, but it's in the
Fedora rpm, and I'll try to fit it in.

I'd expect rdma-core in linux.scm not to be the userspace components,
but then I'm also puzzled why I didn't find verbs with --search and it
was on Ludo's todo list.  I'll look at psm support and libfabrics when I
have a chance.
