      1. Proposed title of this feature request
      2. What is the nature and description of the request?

      2-1: Please add "Disabling the IRDMA kernel module"[1] as one of the prerequisites in "5.1. NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA Prerequisites" [2].

      2-2: Please change the wording in the description for [2].
      >“On some systems, including the Dell R750xa,”
      This phrasing implies it only applies to Dell servers. Please clarify that disabling may also be necessary on other servers (Cisco, Lenovo, etc.).

      3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

      The customer is currently validating OCP AI/OCP + NVIDIA, but even after reading RH documentation, they didn't realize the IRDMA kernel module needed to be disabled. They requested this change because it was unclear.

      4. List any affected packages or components.
