It looks like RHEL6 will not include all of OFED, but pick things from 
OFED's upstream. see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463454

"All of the SGI package requests are met as of the Beta. However, please 
note that the packages are pulled from upstream, and not from OFED. 
Going forward in RHEL6 we will be pulling all InfiniBand related code 
from upstream (from the upstream Linus kernel for kernel code and from 
the various upstream package maintainers for individual packages). So if 
people have specific requests for a certain feature in a certain 
package, then they need to request that specific package be updated."
