It appears I've to build ibmebus as a kernel module like ib_core.
That means for older kernels I need to tell build.sh/install.sh
about this prerequisite.

And also other layers like ipoib, mad etc that use dma mapping,
which needs to be 64-bit on ppc64. See also
openib_dma_addr_t_ofed_1.1_to_2_6_9.patch.
I'd appreciate for further suggestions/comments.
