Currently the patch is broken and incorrectly sets the CM timeouts to 21 ms, 
which causes failures on any (even small) scale-up testing.  The OFED 1.1 patch 
was more limited in scope and only affected MRA timeouts, whereas, this patch 
affects all CM timeouts.  I thought the SRP target issue was fixed with a 
firmware update, and I saw that Ishai was re-working the timeout patch.  Until a 
fixed patch is ready, I believe that we should remove this.

I ran a command based on what you mentioned:

env git_url=/home/shefty/src/ofed_1_2/ git_branch=ofed_1_2 CHECK_LOCAL=yes 
CHECK_KERNEL_ORG=yes /home/vlad/scripts/build_ofa_kernel.sh

The build for x686 works, but all other builds fail, so I removed the 
CHECK_CROSS=yes option.  I get build errors related to the cxgb3 driver.
