When Tziporet and I discussed this for OFED 1.5.4, we agreed that 
NFSRDMA would be supported on newer distros (RHEL 6, SLES 11) which do 
not need the fs/nfs stuff. If we need to support the older distros,  we 
probably do need fs/nfs since their kernels predate NFSRDMA, and all the 
associated changes made in core NFS to support it. What do you think? 
Thanks.
