Upstream has a bunch of default configs listing the missing module.
kernel-boot/modules/infiniband.conf
kernel-boot/modules/opa.conf

# Access to fabric management SMPs and GMPs from userspace.
ib_umad

Those files are available at /etc/rdma/modules/ but they are not loaded - probably because I have no such IB device available as those files seem to be considered via udev rules.

That said I think there are plenty of cases where the rules would not load the module and the service therefore fails to start.

I'd forget about my suggestion #1 above after learning that, but would think that #2 would be the right thing to avoid the service failing to start in so many other environments.
