Yeah, I suspect that there are lots of broken links over there.

It seems that some people ended by prepending some broken URLs with:

	http://web.archive.org/web/%2A/

In order to use the web archive to get an old copy of such documents.

So, replacing the link with something like:

	http://web.archive.org/web/%2A/http://infiniband.sourceforge.net/

Would allow retrieving pages. It seems that the last version is there
at:

	https://web.archive.org/web/20190212201603/http://infiniband.sourceforge.net/

Yet, if are there any new repository with updated info, it would make sense
to replace it by the new stuff. 

Alternatively, one could import existing docs (if license is compatible
with GPLv2) and add to the Kernel documentation.

Thanks,
Mauro
