So you're requesting several KMPs using different package names to avoid package name conflicts for kernels, which change their kABI? I believe I have enough fun with NVIDIA. :-(
I'm not requesting anything. I'm telling you how it is done today for ofed and other KMPs we deliver for SLES and SLED through the maintenance process. There is no need for different names, just updated version/release numbers. The standard is to use the kernel version/release number that has the changed ABI as part of the KMP release number. If people update their kernel, they will automatically get the KMP updated as well (or it gets uninstalled because of missing dependencies, in case it hasn't been updated yet), and if they want to keep the old kernel by installing the new with "rpm -i" then they can do the same with the kmp. The only changed names for KMPs that I'm aware of is that we have one name per kernel flavour.
