Tue is missing the OFED 1.1 boat completely: we are in
feature freeze, RC6 should be the last RC, and we need RC6 out Wed so we must
build -pre Monday morning to allow basic testing by maintainers.

Stuff under gen2/branches/backport applies to svn trunk, don't use that.
You need patches against OFED, which is very close to 2.6.18-rc6.

If you want things integrated with OFED, do the following:

Get ofed RC5 tarball
open up SOURCES/openib-1.1.tgz
add your patches
close it up and test
repack everything and upload somewhere
(contrib/ibm will work)

Later I'll also write up how to do same with git - I just need
Vlad to document some of his scripts that work with that.
