[openib-general] [PATCH 0/10] [RFC] Support for SilverStorm Virtual Ethernet I/O controller (VEx)

[Ramachandra K]

Hi Roland,

This patch series adds support for the SilverStorm Virtual Ethernet I/O
Controllers (VEx) by adding a new kernel level driver.

This kernel driver:

1. Communicates with the VEx on the SilverStorm fabric switches/directors using
   SilverStorm's native protocol
2. Presents a standard Ethernet NIC interface to the system
3. Uses IB reliable connection semantics
4. Is tuned for high performance and throughput

The SilverStorm VEx and the associated communication protocol is in wide use
amongst users of SilverStorm IB fabric solutions.

This patch series is intended for your infiniband.git for-2.6.19 branch. It
also has been tested against the for-2.6.20 branch.
