This is a problem we run into with Lustre somewhat frequently.

The issue is that deploying OFED 1.5 (i.e. beta software) in a
production environment is completely unacceptable, yet leaving one's
systems open to kernel vulnerabilities is equally unacceptable.

By not backporting support for current kernels to the latest stable OFED
release you are putting people between a rock and a hard place.
