Hello Hans,

Can you provide the OFA/linux-rdma/k.org version that matches the verb
APIs/KPIs in this import?  Mellanox OFED doesn't come with iWARP or
non-Mellanox drivers so we need another way to track those in FreeBSD.
It would be nice to be able to say that the verbs in FreeBSD <foo> are
API compatible with version <bar> of some upstream source that supports
all transports and all drivers.  I'm not sure if it's OFA's OFED or
linux-rdma/k.org that's considered authoritative these days.

This one involves taking toe_l2t_resolve out of toecore.ko and into
GENERIC, because ibcore now wants to use it too (and it doesn't make
sense to have ibcore depend on toecore).  I'll probably rename it to
l2t_resolve as part of the move.
