Can you send us point to the patch series (mail thread or some
repository where they sit)?
Here's one thread:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/11/7063.php
the latest patch in that thread is here:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/11/7119.php
Here's another thread with a slightly different thread, but with
elements of IBoE support in it:

Please note that this field isn't present in the distro provided IB
stack and hence it is highly recommended to avoid referring it in your
code,
FWIW: we have configure tests checking for this field (just like we
have configure tests checking for transport_type, because that wasn't
always there, either). However, it is a little disturbing that based
on this conversation, that field name may change, and therefore we'll
have to add *more* configure logic to figure out what exact field to
check. The same is true for all the IBoE code -- since none of that
code has been approved yet, it's risky to base any code off it. :-\
as least some of us (...) are for decoupling ompi from ofed, so
lets not put sticks in the wheels of that process.
Hear hear (let's remove MPI from OFED! :-) ). But I think that this
is a separate issue.
