Vlad,

Is it possible to apply Broadcom's perftest patch to our rolled back pertest 4.4-0.3 package?

https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2701

Also, can you comment on the rdma-core failures with missing dependencies? 
Is this something we can flag earlier in installation?

Thanks,

Arlin
