[ewg] 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 kernel support

[Hiroyuki Sato]

Hello Vipul

I'm not sure this is useful for you.
Have you ever tried configure with --kernel-version and --kernen-source option??

./configure --with-ipoib-mod --with-sdp-mod --with-user_mad-mod \
 --with-user_access-mod --with-mthca-mod --with-mlx4-mod   \
 --with-mlx4_en-mod --with-core-mod --with-addr_trans-mod   \
 --with-rds-mod --with-srp-mod --with-nes-mod   \
 --kernel-version=2.6.29 \
 --kernel-sources=/kerne/source/path
