Hi Ophir,

I am a little confused, can you please help me?

Currently both mlx4 and mlx5 should support both rdma-core and MLX-OFED,
is this correct?

When I try to compile these patches with rdma-core, it is giving warning
for shared library [1].

If I try to compile with mlx-ofed, getting missing header error [2].

What is the dependency for mlx4 driver now?
