Right.

Right.  For as long as it remains identical (i.e. it's changed in the
SLES source -- for whatever, ever so remote reason).

The purest in me would rather the solution worked the other way and
preferred the version supplied by the kernel if it's present and fell
back to the OFED definition if it's not.  I cannot figure out how to
engineer that though.  :-/

In the absence of that "more pure" solution, my patch seems to do the
job with that very slight risk of de-synchronization.

Cheers,
