Here are some fresh eHCA driver features and fixes for your reviewing
pleasure. They have passed internal testing and checkpatch.pl, so we think
they are ready for inclusion.

[01/12] adds userspace support for small QPs
[02/12] changes a nit in firmware communication
[03/12] adds support for more than 4096 QPs/CQs in user space
[04/12] enables mapping firmware contexts into uspace on 64K-page kernels
[05/12] changes hvCall debug trace formatting
[06/12] outputs return codes as signed decimal integers
[07/12] makes warnings also appear in non-debug mode, like they should
[08/12] replaces get_paca()->paca_index by the portable smp_processor_id()
[09/12] checks the allowed max number of SGEs when creating a QP
[10/12] fixes some Path Migration problems
[11/12] works around a firmware race condition
[12/12] bumps the driver's version number

The patches should apply cleanly, in order, against Roland's git. Please
review the changes and apply the patches for 2.6.24 if they are okay.

Regards,
  Joachim
