People have been asking for a backport patch 
of the openib.org code for the 2.6.9 kernel, so I backported
the latest code that was released to kernel.org. 

Attached is a patch that can be applied to a 2.6.9 kernel
that contains the same code that is in 2.6.12-rc2-mm3. 
Roland tells me that there probably will not be any more 
changes, so this should match what is released in 2.6.12. 

I have done limited testing with IPoIB on 2.6.9 from kernel.org and 
the RedHat version of 2.6.9 that is in EL4.0 and it seems to 
work fine.  It was tested on an Itanium tiger2 platform, but the changes
were 
small and it should work for all other platforms as well. 

Matt, should we post this to the downloads web page for
people that want to download it.
