I think this really does fix the ib_ipath compile problems :-)

I was able to get the basic driver to load and run IPoIB
on a RHEL4-U4 system (which tests most of the backport patches)
although I had to hand tweak infiniband/core/cm.c for the call
to class_device_create() in cm_add_one().

Vlad, please pull from:
