some time upstream patches get applied to centos/other distro kernels. but the
kernel version number does not increment.
So checks like #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 33)
will not produce the correct results. I have had to go into code and
change 33 to 35, or something similar.

also, on the inverse.
sometime patches do not get applied because the makefile system can't
determine which ones it should apply.

not sure 100% in your case, but i think I have run into these issue
compiling OFED on centos6.

PS: look at uverbs_0010_to_2_6_33.patch
