Will OFED 1.5.3.2 or 1.5.4 support linux kernel 2.6.37 or above?

I am now using OFED 1.5.3.1 in SL6 with kernel 2.6.36, since I'd like
to use KVM with AVX support in conjunction with OFED 1.5.x(AVX support
in KVM is shipped from kernel 2.6.36).

I'd like to use kernel 2.6.37 or more for better AVX support in
KVM(plus, 2.6.36 seems not actively developed any more), but OFED
1.5.3.1 does not support 2.6.37+
