There are four types of multicast join: FullMember, NonMember,
SendOnlyNonMember and SendOnlyFullMember.

This patch-set introduces the ability to send multicast join requests of
type SendOnlyFullMember (until now only the first three types were
supported).
Host that sends such join request, does not require a multicast
subscription and will still send properly, and in addition will not get
other multicast packets from that group.

It adds a new SA query (for classport_info) to check that the sm
supports sending such requests and it modifies multicast processing in
the IB/core module to handle SendOnlyFullMember multicast join requests.

In addition, the patch set modifies IPoIB so that if the sm does support
SendOnlyFullMember join requests, IPoIB will send such a request when
joining a sendonly multicast group.

What testing has this series received?

functional testing against new SM that supports that option and
against old S that doesn't.
regression and stress testing.

Anyway, I will send new series tomorrow with Hal's comments in (or
with more from others)
