Last test I did was to see if IB DHCP would get the BROADCAST flag on IB
interfaces. It did. Now, I removed:

ip->client->config->bootp_broadcast_always = 1;

from setup_ib_interface (when preparing for DHCP REQUEST), so I could
check if the option:

bootp-broadcast-always

from the config file (added by this patch also) to check if it makes a
difference.

So the following statement in dhclient.conf

interface "ib0" {
    send dhcp-client-identifier = "80:00:00:48:FE:80";
    bootp-broadcast-always;
}

Is working good also.
