…nic driver (NETOP-176) (#333) On OpenShift (RHEL CoreOS), the in-tree ionic kernel module loads at boot and binds to the PCI device before KMM can intervene. This causes KMM's out-of-tree module loading to fail with "could not insert ionic_rdma: Unknown symbol in module". Set InTreeModulesToRemove to ["ionic"] in the KMM Module CR's KernelMapping only on OpenShift, so KMM unloads the in-tree driver before loading the out-of-tree module stack. On Kubernetes (Ubuntu), the in-tree ionic driver is not present, so InTreeModulesToRemove is left empty to avoid triggering unnecessary module reload cycles.
