773028d34e [infiniband] Allow MAD handlers to indicate response via return value
Now that MAD handlers no longer return a status code, we can allow
them to return a pointer to a MAD structure if and only if they want
to send a response.  This provides a more natural and flexible
approach than using a "response method" field within the handler's
descriptor.

94876f4bb6 [infiniband] Remove the return status code from MAD handlers
MAD handlers have to set the status fields within the MAD itself
anyway, in order to provide a meaningful response MAD; the additional
gPXE return status code is just noise.

Note that we probably don't need to ever explicitly set the status to
IB_MGMT_STATUS_OK, since it should already have this value from the
request.  (By not explicitly setting the status in this way, we can
safely have ib_sma_set_xxx() call ib_sma_get_xxx() in order to
generate the GetResponse MAD without worrying that ib_sma_get_xxx()
will clear any error status set by ib_sma_set_xxx().)

3f4972db9a [infiniband] Allow completion queue operations to be optional
The send completion handler typically will just free the I/O buffer,
so allow this common case to be handled by the Infiniband core.

165074c188 [infiniband] Implement SMA as an instance of a GMA
The GMA code was based upon the SMA code.  We can save space by making
the SMA simply an instance of the GMA.

b4155c4ab5 [infiniband] Make qkey and rate optional parameters to ib_post_send()
The queue key is stored as a property of the queue pair, and so can
optionally be added by the Infiniband core at the time of calling
ib_post_send(), rather than always having to be specified by the
caller.

This allows IPoIB to avoid explicitly keeping track of the data queue
key.

1d8c85d112 [infiniband] Create a general management agent
Generalise the subnet management agent into a general management agent
capable of sending and responding to MADs, including support for
retransmissions as necessary.
