RDMA engine: rewrite header comment block and man page section
PATCH 2/3 RDMA engine: rewrite header comment block and man page section
Spelling and grammar fixes for the header comment. Also make it clear that users can choose between the RDMA software provided by their Linux distributor and OFED. Update a related paragraph in the man page too.
