The OFED process is that any code change requires another RC and only few days later a GA
Thus even if you patch is ready today it cannot be in the GA release

As agreed - we will have 1.5.4.1 for this

Thanks, 

We are getting the patch ready and will be submitting in an hour or so to make it for OFED-1.5.4 GA.
