I just need some time to get updates in.  However, that being said, I
totally ignore OFED.  I pull packages from upstream and I do *not* get
anything from OFED.  They shipped a custom hacked, incompatible
libibverbs for over 2 years before their custom hacks were reviewed and
then modified and then accepted upstream.  That ended my relationship
with their offerings.
