[ewg] Compiler warnings in backport patches

[Betsy Zeller]

The latest version of kernel backport patches for OFED 1.2 don't compile
cleanly - that is, they compile with a lot of warnings. In OFED 1.0 and
1.1, there were far less warnings. Compiling with a lot of warnings
makes it difficult to notice when an important one comes up, and this
just doesn't seem like a good idea for the kind of complex development
we are doing.

Are the owners of OFED 1.2 backport patches  willing to fix these for
OFED 1.2? I realize that fixing these will require some amount of fiddly
and annoying casting of data structures, but it really seems like right
thing to do.

Regards, Betsy
