Would like to expand out the FreeBSD Infiniband page

[Justin Clift]

Wiki accounts are self-created.  But they don't enable write access, so it's
not much use.  The main page on the wiki with instructions for obtaining
write access is here:

  https://wiki.freebsd.org/AboutWiki

In short, after creating a wiki account (already done - 'JustinClift'), a
FreeBSD developer needs to email the wiki admins:

  "To get access to edit pages please have a developer email clusteradm@ on
   your behalf. Note that moinmoin (the wiki software) uses the convention
   of FirstLast name (e.g.SimonNielsen) for user names, so it's preferred
   if people follow this style. Thereafter you need someone who is already
   in DevelopersGroup to add you to the DevelopersGroup page to allow access
   to edit pages. You can poke your mentor or another committer for this."

The DevelopersGroup list is here:

  https://wiki.freebsd.org/DevelopersGroup

George, you're on it.  Would you be ok to do the email thing to clusteradm@
for myself, and Jason if he's still up for it, then add us to the
DevelopersGroup page?

+ Justin

I don't think it has been touched for a few years and I'm concerned it might give people the wrong impression about the state of IB support on FreeBSD.
