To create the backportpatches for rhel4.5 I did it like you say, but the
buildscripts of ofed dont uses the kernelsources in
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD. OFED-1.2 use the source link within
/lib/modules/kernel-x.x.x and this points into /usr/src/kernel this
kernelsources were created during installation of rhel-4.5. In this kernel
source the directory include/asm-ppc is missing.
This is the reason why I found this problem not during creation of the
backport patches.
