Pretty sure this should be assigned to the openib or similar component.
Definitely shouldn't be assigned to kernel-utils, since there is no kernel-utils
component for rhel5.

Hardware enablement required by System x is included in OFED v1.2.5. However,
the cluster folks tell us  there are critical bug fixes and additional upper
layer protocol support in v1.3 that would be desireable. OFED v1.3 does not GA
until Dec. 18. The alpha version of OFED 1.3 has been posted at:

http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-1.3/

See:

https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-index.php?page=OFED+1.3+release+plan+and+features

for details regarding OFED 1.3.
