Initial patch for OFED 1.5.x to work on RHEL 6

Initial patch for OFED 1.5.x to work on RHEL 6

[Justin Clift]

Hi all,

Taking a look at the RHEL6 beta at the moment.  It was failing 
compilation of OFED 1.5.1 release on the main ofa kernel rpm, giving the 
same error reported by Jeremy Enos back in Aug 2009 on Fedora 10.

Thankfully the problem turned out to be a bug in the scripting in the 
rpm's spec file, easily fixed, which let's this now compile fine:

The "mkdir -p" is the important part that needed adding, and should be 
safe to add on all the platforms.

Near the end however, it needed the removal of two directories not built 
on RHEL 6.  Not sure if they do get built on other platforms though. 
Vladimir Sokolovsky would probably know. :)

Hope that helps.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
