Oops -- thanks!  I'm puzzled how I missed libnl, in particular.  I don't
know whether the Python support is really worth it, but it's in the
Fedora rpm, and I'll try to fit it in.

I'd expect rdma-core in linux.scm not to be the userspace components,
but then I'm also puzzled why I didn't find verbs with --search and it
was on Ludo's todo list.  I'll look at psm support and libfabrics when I
have a chance.
