If I'm understanding you, you are addressing the issue of OFED not
building with a newer kernel than it was originally written to support.
I suppose to short-circuit the eventual build failure?

If so, that doesn't deal at all with the real-world issue of leaving
people between the rock and hard place of having to either run
vulnerable kernels or alpha/beta quality OFED software.
