The issues from installing OFED-1.1-rc5 with the above patch 
(backport/2.6.16/linux_hvcall_to_2.6.16.patch) on PPC/SLES10 are

   1. The following message was shown at the beggining (which is expected)
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   2. Including ib_path in ofed.conf resulted an error during build

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      I don't know if the patch is to blame on this issue since I didn't
      compile try to build ib_path before

Besides that installation passed and a very short acceptance test showd 
no problem.

Below is the relevant part in ofed.conf that was used in this verification
