This is with svn trunk, so its almost identical to 2.6.17-rc1.

Especially for 2.6.14 the backport patches are really minor for ipoib.
You can see them here
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/backport/2.6.14

One thing that I consider gross in our ipoib code is the way
ipoib_mcast_start_thread is autostarted from restart_task

       if (test_bit(IPOIB_FLAG_ADMIN_UP, &priv->flags))
                ipoib_mcast_start_thread(dev);
