Not sure why there are "???" there... the (-5) error code is an
"internal error" status from the device FW on the event queue
initialization command.  Anyway I think the log shows that the problem
is exactly the one fixed in the commit I mentioned -- a423b8a0
("mlx4_core: Allocate and map sufficient ICM memory for EQ context")
from my infiniband.git tree should fix this.

The log

 > [ 7425.199430] mlx4_core 0000:04:00.0: irq 70 for MSI/MSI-X
...
 > [ 7425.199488] mlx4_core 0000:04:00.0: irq 102 for MSI/MSI-X

shows 33 event queues being allocated (num_possible_cpus() + 1) and that
will hit the issue fixed in that commit.

Assuming this fixes it for you, I guess I should get this into 2.6.31,
since it obviously is hitting not-particularly-exotic systems in
practice.  I do wonder why num_possible_cpus() is 32 on your box (since
16 threads is really the max with nehalem EP).

Anyway, here's the patch I mean:

commit a423b8a022d523abe834cefe67bfaf42424150a7

    mlx4_core: Allocate and map sufficient ICM memory for EQ context
    
    The current implementation allocates a single host page for EQ context
    memory, which was OK when we only allocated a few EQs.  However, since
    we now allocate an EQ for each CPU core, this patch removes the
    hard-coded limit and makes the allocation depend on EQ entry size and
    the number of required EQs.
