RHEL 6.6 support

[JJK]

Will there be an update to mpss to support RHEL 6.6 (and derivatives) ?

FWIW: CentOS 6.6 / 2.6.32.504 does work with MPSS 3.3.1 (I did not test MPSS 3.4.X). The 'weak-updates' directory links in the .431 version of mic.ko, but perhaps an official "stamp of approval" would be nice :)

Thanks for the data point that CentOS 6.6 works with MPSS 3.3.1, although that combination is not officially supported.  Officially, RHEL 6.6 is supported by MPSS 3.4

 oh I see - the release notes mention 6.6 support, but the main download page

  https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-manycore-platform-software-stack-mpss#lx34rel

does not ...

Thanks for pointing that out.  I see we do need to add 'RedHat 6.6' to the list of OSes under 'Downloads available'.  Support for 6.6 was added as a 'hot fix' after the initial 3.4 MPSS release, so it first appeared in MPSS 3.4.1.  Nice to see somebody reads the release notes :-)
