[openib-general] [openfabrics-ewg] modules compilation status for OFED 1.2

[Tziporet Koren]

We stay with same build process but the backport patches give a solution
for such cases.
Michael Tsirkin can help you how we solved such problems with other
kernel code we needed.

Hi Tziporet!
> ehca driver (Nam) - SLES9, Redhat EL4 up4, SLES10 SP1, 2.6.19
Backport for SLES9 and RHEL4.4/5 is doable only with a kernel patch
in order to get ibmebus running, which is a prereq for ehca. Since
ofed-1.1 build process compiles the components out of kernel tree,
such one kernel patch is not possible. Will that change with ofed-1.2
build process?
