[openib-general] [PATCH v4 3/3] ofed_1_2 Provide generic allocator backport to 2.6.20.

This is needed even on kernels that might have genalloc because it
may not be configured into the running kernel.  Right now the only
subsystem that turns on the generic allocator config option is IA64.
So chances are good that 2.6.20 kernels will _not_ have this compiled in.
So we just backport it to all supported kernels.

To avoid collisions with kernels that _do_ have this compiled in, 
change the names of the exported symbols in the backport.

Changes to genalloc.h:

- Change exported symbol names by prepending ib_
- added #defines for original exported symbol names to new names. Thus
  code calling the allocator doesn't need to change.

  EG: #define gen_pool_alloc ib_gen_pool alloc
