Please note that this scheme helps using files added for back and future 
(!) ports eg the mutex and the index things, so the trick is that having 
the code doing

#include <linux/backport.file.h>

and the svn having a directory

include/linux

and

drivers/infiniband softlinking to the svn tree

make things to work

Or.
