Now, attribute_container.c, klist.c & transport_class.c are copied from
the kernel tree. I've committed the required changes in
~erezz/ofabuild_iser_rh4.git & ~erezz/ofed_1_2_iser_rh4.git. The main
change is a new dir called "kernel_addons_patches". It contains patches
for kernel tree files in order to create the required addons from them.

The rest of the files that I added to include/src are very small. I hope
it's ok now.

This file was removed.

Done.
