Now that that patch has been rolled back out, did we come to conclusion here?

- OFUD: why do we still even have this?
- Portals: does it matter if it gets it wrong?  No one will ever multi-rail 
with it.
- TCP: we can add auto-detect code for this (But doesn't have to be right away 
-- i.e., don't make 1.5.0 wait for it).
- UDAPL: I don't think anyone will multi-rail udapl with anything.

Was the *real* problem that Brice's OpenFabrics bandwidth was auto-detected 
incorrectly somehow?
