Public bug reported:
The Mellanox OFED modules fail to build on the 6.17 kernel.
I'm not sure if these modules are supposed to work on Ubuntu 25.10
(Questing), but they fail to build for me. Notably, these modules don't
seem to be set to autoinstall in DKMS, so any tests that just install
the package and deps, but don't manually call `dkms install`, would not
trigger the failure.
Mainly, I was hoping to use the OFED utilities with Secure Boot enabled,
so the issue isn't a blocker for me personally, but I'd imagine others
might run into the same issue.
