Hi Doron,
OFED-1.3 based on 2.6.24 kernel, while OFED-1.4, currently, based on 2.6.26-rc8.
drivers/base/attribute_container.c - is the part of the kernel and it was changed in the kernel git tree.
So, you should change kernel_addons/backport/2.6.9_U[4-6]/include/linux/attribute_container.h and, may be, other
ISER backport patches in a such way that RHEL4.0U[4-6] backports will work.

Regards,
Vladimir
