InfiniBand hw support out of the box?

[Grzegorz Junka]

Somehow. I used to compile the kernel but now I try to postpone if 
possible. The trouble isn't the compilation, it's the deployment. I 
can't compile on my server, I would need to compile on my desktop and 
somehow move the kernel to the server, upgrade it there, and restart. 
Then any further upgrades to a newer FreeBSD release would become a much 
bigger hassle. It's just a matter of spending some time figuring out the 
process.
