[ewg] OFED 4.8-1 RC3 prep work

[Davis, Arlin R]

All critical issues are complete, including a new libfabric 1.5.2. This was exceptional work from many different teams. A big thanks to everyone getting this done so quickly! We will continue to work lower priority issues for #3 going forward as needed. 

Unless there are objections, the latest daily build will be rolled into RC3 later today.

Vlad, please give my team a few hours to pull down this latest drop and do a quick build/install test before moving to RC3.  We will contact you when testing is complete. 

Thanks again,

Arlin
