+PSM2 is the only valid implementation for OmniPath (OPA). UCX also
+supports OmniPath, but it does so via Verbs, thus getting much lower
+performance (typically 3 GiB/s instead of 10 GiB/s).
+
+To work around that, give the mtl_psm2 component a higher priority
+than the pml_ucx component.
+
+See <https://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.open-mpi.org/msg33581.html>.
