iPXE currently uses the first port's port GUID as the node GUID,
rather than using the (possibly distinct) real node GUID. This can
confuse opensm during the handover to a loaded OS: it thinks the port
already belongs to a different node and so discards our port
information with a warning message about duplicate ports. Everything
is picked up correctly on the second subnet sweep, after opensm has
established that the "old" node no longer exists, but this can delay
link-up unnecessarily by several seconds.
Fix by using the real node GUID.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

IBA section 14.2.5.2 states that "the contents of the NodeDescription
attribute are the same for all ports on a node". Satisfy this by
using the HCA GUID rather than the port GUID to form the node
description string.
Currently, all Infiniband users must create a process for polling
their completion queues (or rely on a regular hook such as
netdev_poll() in ipoib.c).
Move instead to a model whereby the Infiniband core maintains a single
process calling ib_poll_eq(), and polling the event queue triggers
polls of the applicable completion queues. (At present, the
Infiniband core simply polls all of the device's completion queues.)
Polling a completion queue will now implicitly refill all attached
receive work queues; this is analogous to the way that netdev_poll()
implicitly refills the RX ring.
Infiniband users no longer need to create a process just to poll their
completion queues and refill their receive rings.
IPoIB and the SMA have separate constants for the packet size to be
used to I/O buffer allocations. Merge these into the single
IB_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE constant.
(Various other points in the Infiniband stack have hard-coded
assumptions of a 2048-byte payload; we don't currently support
variable MTUs.)
