Lion Cub aka Arbel aka PCI Ex HCA is supported in Tavor compatibility
mode right now by the mthca driver. I just received firmware and
documentation for native mode last week, so support for that will be
"coming soon." However Tavor mode is not really much of a performance
hit -- on a suitable motherboard you should still be able to hit (bus
limited) 20 Gb/sec of throughput.
