Infiniband has not claimed the name 'boottab'. My thoughts were to keep
the initrd filename 'boottab' the same regardless of ICS hardware; no
need to change. The name 'ibtab' came about thru my ignorance of how/who
accessed boottab. From additional experiments, I now understand that a
file, formatted exactly like boottab, which contains IPoIB bound IP
addresses and IB hardware addresses works fine; 'ibtab' has gone away.

I'm currently working on mkinitrd to auto-generate an initrd*.img file
which matches the hand-crafted IB initrd*.img file.
