Hi Mikkel,

I've determined this is an rds-tools issue. Since RDS is in the mainline
kernel now, we have an actual protocol family number now, and do not
need to do the "pf hack" to read it from /proc. The RDS code in 1.5
removes the proc entry entirely, so older versions of rds-tools
utilities will abort, instead of defaulting to the permanent PF number.

I don't see a blessed ofed_1_5 rds-tools git repo yet, so for now
git://git.openfabrics.org/~agrover/rds-tools.git can be used.

Thanks for reporting this.
