Since hwloc is not in RHEL5, I think you can update it to 1.4 as long
as it's not a incompatible upgrade. Will people using 1.1 there see any
problems? Will they have to manually do anything to use 1.4? If not,
and it's compatible it's up to the maintainer.
Presumably, a hwloc14 package would be a possibility for EL6? (aside:
quite astonished that RH chose to package up 1.1 for rhel6).
