[ewg] OFED bug 2072

[Steve Wise]

Hey Joachim,

This bug is actually a duplicate of an old one I have open.  You can 
work around the problem by configuring in cxgb3 and iw_cxgb3 in your 
kernel.  Then building/installing ofed will overlay these two modules, 
but the genalloc code will still have been pulled into the kernel.  Does 
that make sense?

The only solution I can come up with is to just pull the genalloc code 
into the ofed core regardless of the kernel version.   It's on my to-do 
list, but is low priority.


Steve.
