Hello Eli,

Ehca supports fewer than 16 s/g entries- hence the srq patch addresses that issue. 
The sequence of steps that I followed for the touch test:
1. On a freshly booted system, configure ib0 and assign an IP addresss
2. Switch to connected mode and change mtu
3. ping remote ib interface (already in CM mode)
4. modprobe -r ib_ehca

I see a series of cascading failures in /var/log/messages, starting with 
the issue of not being able to destroy the cq (specifically rcq)
