[ofa-general] OFED 1.2.5.4 build fails for kernel 2.6.23

[Chuck Hartley]

I tried building OFED 1.2.5.4 on a Fedora 7 system with kernel
2.6.23.1-21.fc7 and got a fatal compile error.  Apparently the number of
arguments to kmem_cache_create() changed from 6 to 5 starting with kernel
version 2.6.23. Error output below:
