I'm not aware of anything like that.  I haven't set it up myself.  The
clusters that I've seen using IB at this point were still using
ethernet as the management network.  BProc did all its stuff on that
network.  There was some stuff whacked in to the BProc setup to get IB
drivers loaded.  That was non-trivial since there were a lot of
scripts involved.

I have seen BProc run using IP over IB on little bladed thing once but
we cheated and had a local linux install on the slave node to get the
IB setup.

Some of the Sandia California guys are on this list.  They have a lot
more experience with this than I do.  Maybe they can comment or
recommend how to go about doing this.  Matt/Josh/Mitch ???
