This package provides an init script and a config file and an awk script and
some udev rules that are needed to properly setup the kernel InfiniBand/iWARP
modules at bootup or anytime someone wants to reload the stack.  It's generally
needed in order to get all the proper modules loaded for things like IPoIB to
work smoothly as there is no good means of mapping from things like ib0 network
configuration to actual hardware module without hacking up modprobe to know
things about the IB stack like it does about the SCSI stack (such as loading sdX
devices requires scsi_hostadapter* to be loaded too, same goes here, loading ib*
devices would require the addition of an rdma_hostadapter concept to modprobe).
 It seems a better idea to implement the logic here than to add another specific
hack to modprobe et. al.
