So what is the answer to the OP's original question though?  Probably
this is not really a question for this list, but surely, somebody here
knows...  Given the above statement about getting OFED from the upstream
kernel rather than an OFA release, what does that mean in terms of which
actual version of OFED will be in RHEL6?

An additional note on the above mentioned bug notes:

        According to the latest builds, the following package version
        are in 6.0:
        
        infiniband-diags-1.5.3-1.el6
        perftest-1.2.3-1.el6
        qperf-0.4.6-1.el6

That first one kinda indicates to me that it might be OFED (core) 1.5.3.
Would that be an unreasonable conclusion?
