I do not know how OFED creates their tarballs or manages their source.

Assuming that ~vlad/ofed_1_2.git is the OFED kernel tree, then this patch does
not appear to be included.  I was asked by OFED to publish an ofed_1_2 branch,
which I did, but I do not know if it was used in constructing the OFED tree.
The patch was intended to go into OFED.
