[gentoo-cluster] OpenIB and recent kernels

[Alexey Shvetsov]

Hi all!

I'm using openib-userspace utils and kernel drivers on two clusters
but i cannot use openib-kernel with kernels greater than 2.6.22
while in kernels drivers works fine with recent gentoo-sources (2.6.23-2.6.25)
only thing that they need to work with openib-userspace is udev rules
for ib devices and openib initscript and config. So why we cant add
drivers use flag for openib-userspace that works as follow:
when it set than we pull openib kernel as dep
when it is not set we install udev rules and initscripts for openib

Alexy,

    I'm working on the Gentoo clustering LiveDVD, now would be a good 
time to add items to the shopping list ;)

Hi!

Well all needed parts are in science overlay now
except openmpi with openib support
it is avalieble on bugs.gentoo.org

I think base things that will be good for this livedvd are
* openib
* eselect-mpi
* openmpi 
* mvapich2
* some soft to test that all works =)
