[Users] ofed 3.5 (final) won't install/compile on centos 6.4

[John Blaas]

Yes, If you read the patch notes kernel-ib was renamed to compat-rdma in
the most recent versions of OFED.  Normally you would be able to pull down
all the centOS recompiled OFED packages from Base but it seems that these
days that group of packages is also incomplete (I would still give it a
shot though and do a groupinstall "Infiniband Support".

You can also just run 1.5.4 which works fine and compiles correctly on
CentOS up to 6.4 = )
