No, I don't think so. Mike's open-iscsi works for many kernels and he provides libiscsi. OFA decided to make open-iscsi and ib_iser 2.6.30 based in OFED-1.5.4, but they say that they also support 3.0 in OFED. Now, they could provide two more open-iscsi and ib_iser versions (>=2.6.33, >=2.6.37) or just patch the version they already have. API changes are no magic and everyone can see what they do in the mainline if the API changes.
