Subject: [PATCH 1/7] IB/hfi1: Export drivers user sw version via sysfs

User space consumers of hfi1 will need to know what version of the
driver they are dealing with. This becomes particularly important when
the write() interface is removed. User's will need to be able to query
the driver information but without asking the driver directly.

Add the driver's software version to sysfs for this exact purpose.
