* Using /etc/infiniband/openib.conf to create a persistent configuration is
no longer supported
* On RHEL4_U7, cannot set a slave interface as primary.
+* ib-bonding will not be compiled and installed with OFED on OS with kernel
+ that is >= 2.6.27. The bonding driver that comes with those kernels already
+ supports enslaving of IPoIB interfaces. However, there still might be a issue
+ of OS configuration tools (like sysconfig or initscripts) that needs a fix but
+ such issues were not observed yet.
