[ofa-general] minor usability nit with 1.2GA?

[Rick Jones]

So I was blythly running my netperf tests after resolving the problem 
with the existence of irqbalance.  I finished my TCP tests and was about 
to run the SDP tests.  I'd not modprobe'd the ib_sdp module, so my 
netperf tests died.  I then did the modprobe and it complained about 
symbol versions.

Turns-out - or at least it seems that way - that my selection of just 
"basic" software didn't include SDP.  That's fine I suppose, but what 
happened then was I was left with a system with a hybrid of the previous 
OFED whatever bits (probably an RC for 1.2) and OFED GA bits.

Perhaps this is simply "caveat emptor" but shouldn't there be some sort 
of warning/check that in only doing the partial install there would be 
some incompatible modules left laying around?  Or should I just do the 
"give me everything" option, shut-up and benchmark?-)
