Please have a look at a similar patch that is present in OFED 3.5. It is
much more elaborate than this patch and e.g. enables lockless queueing,
which improves performance significantly. See also the patch called
compat-rdma-3.5/patches/0025-ib_srp-Backport-to-older-kernels.patch in
SRPMS/compat-rdma-3.5-OFED.3.5.src.rpm in OFED-3.5.tgz.

The same patch can also be found here:
