Chris, #1 In first pass (2.8.2), the MIC support only can be run on diskful host node. We did not do any support with stateless and statelite. I'll try to run MIC support on stateless soon. And hopefully could get your experiment of how it works on statelite. The main challenge on statelite host is that you need to figure out the readwrite directories and files and set them in litefile table.
#2 You can try that just install the new built driver. I did not have experience that rebuild the mic driver.
