While trying to get dolphin working on c1ioo, the c1ioo mx_stream processes mysteriously stopped working.  The mx_stream process itself just won't start now.  I have no idea why, or what could have happened to cause this change.  I was working on PCIe dolphin stuff, but have since backed out everything that I had done, and still the c1ioo mx_stream process will not start.

mx_stream relies on the open-mx kernel module, but that appears to be fine:

controls@c1ioo ~ 0$ /opt/open-mx/bin/omx_info  
Open-MX version 1.3.901

Found 1 boards (32 max) supporting 32 endpoints each:

   managed by driver 'e1000'
   attached to numa node 0

However, if trying to start mx_stream now fails:

controls@c1ioo ~ 0$ /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/fb/mx_stream -s c1x03 c1ioo c1als -d fb:0
c1x03
mmapped address is 0x7f885f576000

OMX: Failed to find peer index of board 00:00:00:00:00:00 (Peer Not Found in the Table)
mx_connect failed
controls@c1ioo ~ 1$ 

I'm not quite sure how to interpret this error message.  The "00:00:00:00:00:00" has the form of a 48-bit MAC address that would be used for a hardware identifier, ala the second column of the OMC "peer table" above, although of course all zeros is not an actual address.  So there's some disconnect between mx_stream and the actually omx configuration stuff that's running underneath.

Again, I have no idea what happened.  I spoke to Rolf and he's going to try to help sort this out tomorrow.
