In the previous ofa releases we had many fixes with names such as
t_00xxxx and zzz_xxx etc. I suggest the following convention to make
this more ordered. The name of a patch starts with the name of the
module then a number that dictates the order and then a free descriptive
name for the patch. For example:

ipoib_0010_cq_coalescing.patch
mlx4_0070_modify_cq.patch

What do you think?
