Hi Michael,

as discussed here:
http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/ewg/2007-August/004183.html
The backport for kmem_cach_zalloc() was included.

In rhel-4.5 the struct kmem_cache does not exists and I'm seeing this:

typedef struct kmem_cache_s kmem_cache_t;

That means previous patch can not compile. 
Thus, I have to send a patch for this anyway. I think there is no difference to
use the struct or the typedef.

Regards Stefan
