More suggestions for README:

On master I suggest  s/openib/verbs/  to catch two lingering instances of
the old BTL name.
Only the first of those two can optionally be updated in v1.8 too.

As for Portals4, here is a suggested replacement stolen directly from
portals4's google code site:

-  Portals4 is the support library for Cray interconnects, but is also
-  available on other platforms (e.g., there is a Portals4 library
-  implemented over regular TCP).
+  Portals is a low-level network API for high-performance networking
+  on high-performance computing systems developed by Sandia National
+  Laboratories, Intel Corporation, and the University of New Mexico.
+  The Portals 4 Reference Implementation is a complete implementation
+  of Portals 4, with transport over InfiniBand VERBS and UDP.
