Tested on RHEL 3 U5 Beta (x86).

Just requires a one line patch to their Makefile, patch attached to this
email.

I ran make all, with the patch applied (and kernel-source installed).

This generated four files:
iteraid.big (for hugemem kernel)
iteraid.bot (for the BOOT kernel)
iteraid.o (for the Uniprocessor kernel)
iteraid.smp (for the SMP kernel)

I then took the iteraid.o (since I don't have an SMP test box handy),
copied it into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/block, and ran
depmod -a. In your case, you'd want to copy iteraid.smp
to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/block/iteraid.o

After that, you should be able to run: modinfo iteraid
And see something like:

filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.21-31.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/block/iteraid.o
description: "ITE IT8212 RAID Controller Linux Driver"
author:      "ITE Tech,Inc."
license:     "GPL"

No idea if it works or not, as I don't have this hardware.
