branch: ofed_1_2

openibd: ofed_1_2/ofed_scripts/openibd

openib.conf updated from: ofed_1_2/ofed_scripts/ofa_kernel.spec

It should be something like:
%if %{build_vnic}
       echo >> %{IB_CONF_DIR}/openib.conf
       echo "# Load VNIC module" >> %{IB_CONF_DIR}/openib.conf
       echo "VNIC_LOAD=no" >> %{IB_CONF_DIR}/openib.conf
%endif
