Per above, only if you selected to build/install it.

Because we are trying to minimize our responsibility for kernel
deviation (and hence bugs) from the vendor's distributed kernel.

OFED is an integral component of our software, so we are willing to take
on the responsibility for that deviation.  NFS[RDMA] is not integral to
our software, so we'd just as soon let the customer use what they would
be using with the vendor's stock kernel if they want to use NFS.
