The patch didn't apply - looks like it's not against the ofed tree -  it was
conflicting in the second chunk in ipath_driver.
Since the conflict was trivial, Vlad fixed that up manually - here's the patch that
we put in RC7. Rob, please try to make sure patches apply in OFED tree next time
before you post.

Patch for review, below

IB/ipath - initialize diagpkt file on device init only

Don't attempt to set up the diagpkt device in the module init code.
Instead, wait until a piece of hardware is initted.  Fixes a problem
when loading the ib_ipath module when no InfiniPath hardware is present:
modprobe would go into the D state and stay there.
