I didn't know that this patch ever existed. open-iscsi is not supported
on RH4 up2, so why should this happen? The installation script in OFED
1.2 prevented that.

You can create Module.symvers file for the new open-iscsi symbols and
then copy this file into iSER subdirectory before compiling iSER.
This is really problematic because it means that we need to do the
following:
* Compile open-iscsi and create the binary open-iscsi rpm.
* Open the ofa_kernel src rpm and copy Module.symvers into it.
* Create the ofa_kernel src rpm again and compile it.
Unless you have another idea, I think that we should consider not
separating iSCSI from the ofa_kernel rpm. It will be not as clean as we
wanted in the first place, but the code will be simpler and easier to
maintain.
