OK, I figured it out.  Evidently, when I extracted the tarball, I
extracted it over the top of an already existing ofa_kernel-1.4
directory from an earlier ofed-1.4 beta release.  That directory
contained a few files that didn't exist in the new tarball, and
therefore weren't overwritten, and as a result the combined patch set
didn't work.  A complete removal of the directory with a fresh
extraction from the tarball (what I thought I had in the first place)
solved the problem.
