Hopefully someone else can comment on whether TopSpin IB support is in 
lustre yet as I do not have any experience getting them to work within a 
lustre environment, however...

You should be able to get the TopSpin source code by contacting your 
sales representative.  Compiling the drivers against the lustre kernel 
should be fairly straightforward after you attain the code, but let me 
know if you run into any snags.
