We don’t want official binaries to be linked against libibverbs so, and forcing all vpp consumers to install subset of OFED packages to get VPP running.
If you are able to statically link all dependencies into dpdk_plugin then mlx4/mlx5 pmd can be enabled in default build. We do similar thing with IPSec MB libs...
