Have to agree w/Ira -- if upstream didn't change the name, and users are
familiar with the package name as-is, we should change RHEL.
OPA support in RHEL is 'tech-preview', so we can change anything we want, until
it goes to 'fully supported'.   
The name change was probably involved in the hastily put together workaround
with the psm1-psm2 name conflicts when both packages were installed on a system
(that had opa & qib on it, for example).  The multi-fabric, not-all-OPA config
must be supported, so as long as the upstream <*>psm<*> libraries have been
cleaned up to make this work (without different compile options to compat-libs,
breaking old psm apps), then we should change RHEL-7 to reflect upstream.
According to a rather long email thread, the library
incompatibility/name-collision issue has been solved, so RHEL should be able to
mimic rest of upstream wrt naming.
