RE: [Announce] rxe dev tree available (soft RDMAoE)

The ipath driver, which I am more familiar with, replicated the transport
for RC, UC and UD which also caused some code duplication. We tried to
combine them all together in rxe.

Interesting to note that according to ohcount, rxe is 9591 non-blank
non-comment lines of kernel code, while qib is 36957 lines. So the
complexity of IB transport is a small part of the complexity of qib.
