Hi Bryan

You have forgot some of the patches in your tarball file, thus several 
OSes does not pass (e.g RH EL4 up3).

/openib-1.0/patches/ > ls */ipath*
2.6.11_FC4/ipath_backport.patch  2.6.13/ipath_backport.patch

I took the freedom to copy these patches to svn since I noticed that 
ipath backport patches are same for all OSes & kernels.
Please take a look and make sure ipath driver compiles & loads on all 
supported systems (including ia64, PPC64 etc.)
