Mark, We are aware of the issue and it is due to changes in the Redhat kernel that added the napi_struct in order to support GRO. We currently have a fix in the works and it will likely be released in about 4 weeks. In the meantime the quickest workaround for the issue is to rename all instances of 'napi_struct' in the igb driver to something like 'napi_compat_struct' and then the driver should build. In addition however you will need to disable GRO for igb or else you will experience additional issues as the GRO implementation in the kernel will not be compatible with that workaround.
