[ofa-general] must include kernel_addons/backport for software depending on OFED?

Hi there,
I saw openib/kernel_addons/backport after install kernel-ib-devel, looks
we have to put "-I$BACKPORT_INCLUDES" in $LINUXINCLUDE for compile any
kernel code depending on ofed(I failed to build without
BACKPORT_INCLUDES), but kernel_addons/backport has a lot of macros and
inlines, which will conflict with config.h we already got (We don't want
to use these backports everwhere in our system because we have only one
module depending on OFED).

Any suggestion for this? Thanks!

Liang
