Vlad,
 
Can you please pull qlvnictools.git before you build RC3 ?
 
git://git.openfabrics.org/~ramachandrak/qlvnictools.git

This contains a small fix to the vnic_parser.pl script (diff included below for your reference) that adds a check to enable configuration of VNIC interfaces only for mthca as VNIC driver currently supports only MTHCA.
[This is a work around to prevent a kernel panic if user tries to configure VNIC interfaces with ipath]
 
Regards,
Ram
