[ewg] OFED Updates

[Shuichi Ihara]

Rupert, 

Thanks clarification on this.
My question was versioning for compiled compat-rdma RPMs below. The version will be fixed and
changed with correct version in the next RC build?

> compat-rdma-3.5-2.6.32_358.6.2.el6.x86_64.x86_64.rpm
> compat-rdma-devel-3.5-2.6.32_358.6.2.el6.x86_64.x86_64.rpm

I can expect compat-rdma-3.5-1-2.6.xx_xxx, instead of compat-rdma-3.5-2.6.xx_xxx, correct?

Thanks
Ihara
