Hi Woody,
You should not take IPoIB from the tag 
(gen2/branches/1.0/ofed/tags/rc5/linux-kernel), since IPoIB is taken 
from git for 2.6.17.
The patches of IPoIB are against the code that is in the git.
Please take the full tarball and use it. If you want you can create your 
own tarball by checking out the code from git and use the build script 
(https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/1.0/ofed/build/build_ofed.sh)
