The fact that we started to try out Ubuntu 19.04 must be illustrative of our commitments. There have been enough discussions out ppc64 support on the mailing list. Let us not allow that to cloud this discussion. Can we agree to limit the discussion to this bug?

Based on Dave's debug, there doesn't appear to be anything that is architecture specific. We have run a number of tests with DPDK-18.11 with and without MLNX_OFED on ppc64le without any issues.

The current situation is that we have access to P9, but not x86. On the other hand, you are likely to have access to x86 with CX-5. To narrow down this problem, can you see if this can be recreated on x86?
The underlying assumption is that all the relevant package versions between x86 and ppc64le are identical. Is that assumption correct?
