[ofa-general] [PATCH v4 00/14] QLogic VNIC Driver

[Ramachandra K]

Roland,

This is the fourth round of QLogic Virtual NIC driver patch series for submission
to 2.6.27 kernel. The series has been tested against your for-2.6.27 branch.

Based on comments received on third series of patches, following fixes have
been introduced in this series:

	-  Single value per sysfs file created by QLogic VNIC Driver.
	-  Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-infiniband-qlgc-vnic
	   describing the sysfs interface of the QLogic VNIC Driver.
	-  Use of existing dev->stats instead of driver's private
	   vnic->stats.
    -  Changing more generic name completion_callback_cleanup to
	   the one more driver specific - vnic_completion_cleanup
    -  Removal of the field vnic->open
    -  Minor Modifications to linked list manipulations.

The sparse endianness checking for the driver did not give any warnings and
checkpatch.pl have few warnings indicating lines slightly longer than 80 columns.

Background:
As mentioned in the earlier versions of patch series, this series adds QLogic
Virtual NIC (VNIC) driver which works in conjunction with the the QLogic
Ethernet Virtual I/O Controller (EVIC) hardware. The VNIC driver along with the
QLogic EVIC's two 10 Gigabit ethernet ports, enables Infiniband clusters to
connect to Ethernet networks. This driver also works with the earlier version of
the I/O Controller, the VEx.

The QLogic VNIC driver creates virtual ethernet interfaces and tunnels the
Ethernet data to/from the EVIC over Infiniband using an Infiniband reliable
connection.
