This is not an OFED issue, you need to fix your compilation script.

I am referring to your module's compilation script.  You need to make sure
that your module's compilation script will include directory
 /usr/src/ofa_kernel/kernel_addons/backport/2.6.16_sles10_sp2/include
BEFORE the standard linux includes.

It will happen on ALL distributions and kernels which are before kernel 2.6.27
(for OFED 1.4) -- which does not have any kernel_addons/backport directory furnishing
include files.
