Already been done a long time ago.  From cxgb3_release_notes.txt:



3) If you are building OFED against a kernel.org kernel later than
2.6.20, then make sure your kernel is configured with the cxgb3 and
iw_cxgb3 modules enabled.  This forces the kernel to pull in the genalloc
allocator, which is required for the OFED iw_cxgb3 module.  Make sure
these config options are included in your .config file:

        CONFIG_CHELSIO_T3=m
        CONFIG_INFINIBAND_CXGB=m
