Shaun, will you resolve this since you abandoned https://review.whamcloud.com/#/c/35116/ and https://review.whamcloud.com/#/c/35570/ ?

Support for Oracle's OFED has landed.
Special support for -UEK kernels is not needed beyond the current client support for upstream linux kernels.

If users request for -UEK kernels this can be revisited.
