[openib-general] Kernel 2.6.9

Now that Linus has officially released 2.6.9, I am removing backwards
compatibility from mthca (basically the patch below).  I added a 2.6.9
patch in the src/linux-kernel/patches directory.  Since the tree does
not compile against anything older, I removed the older kernel
patches (I don't think they're useful and they probably create confusion).

Eagle-eyed readers will notice that there is now a linux-2.6.9-ipoib-multicast.diff
patch in the patches directory as well.  This adds the mapping from
IPv4 multicast address to IB MGID.  Once I fix multicast in the IPoIB
driver, this patch will be required for correct operation.

 - R.
