As discussed with James (jpoc) in #centos-ppc on freenode, we seem to
suffer the same issue as for x86_64 wrt rdma-core (see
https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7#head-281c090cc4fbc6bb5c7d4cd82a266fce807eee7c)
, except that for ppc64 the multilib issue forbids the ppc and ppc64
pkgs to be installed in parallel.

So updating from 7.3.1611 to 7.4.1708 is the same "fix" as for x86_64 :
"yum install -y rdma-core && yum update -y" => no .ppc pkgs are pulled
in at all.
