Description

What would you like to be added:

It's better to use DOCA to install Mellonx driver rather than ofed,

Why is this needed:

MLNX_OFED last standalone release is October 2024 Long Term Support (3 years). Starting January 2025 all new features will only be included in DOCA-OFED. Download DOCA-Host [here](https://developer.nvidia.com/doca-downloads).

Without this feature, how does current superbenchmark work

Research direction

Start by locating the repository Dockerfile and reviewing how MLNX_OFED is currently installed. Read the linked DOCA-Host and MLNX_OFED references, then determine the DOCA installation path needed for the benchmark image; done means the image builds with DOCA and SuperBench still works.
